I just read and LOVED LOVED LOVED Gary Schmidt's latest YA, OKAY FOR NOW. Brilliant story of a boy who tries to overcome his messed up family in a new town. The voice and characters are just amazing.
If you like nonfiction, I'd recommend No Biking in the House Without a Helmet by Melissa Fay Greene (a couple with 4 kids adopt 5 more, from Bulgaria and Ethiopia). Another nonfiction book I liked was Sideways on a Scooter by Miranda Kennedy (a reporter who spent 5 years in India). Got to do a lot of armchair traveling with both stories. :>)
