  1. Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher -- or really, almost anything by him. Good, rich characters, facing adversity. He was a family therapist and his writing feels authentic while touching on real issues.

  2. Though everyone talks (rightfully) about The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (bonus: movie coming out, starring the girl from Divergent), Paper Towns is pretty phenomenal, well developed, current, etc. For new fiction, John Green is doing about as good a job as anyone managing the YA / Adult transition, introducing tough topics with good - not intimidating - writing.

  3. Soldier's Heart by Gary Paulsen is short but an amazing look at war from a young kid's perspective. A good compliment to all those fluffy (though enjoyable) we will win the war if i find my boyfriend! books that are so popular....

  4. Also,The Book Thief by Zusak. Because.... for just about every reason.

  5. If you think you are going to have a hard time un-sticking from the fantasy thing - The Night Circus is a creative alternative with better writing than the others.

  6. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime shifted my perspective through shifting the voice -- the main character is autistic. Having this sort of unique narrator was a first & helped teach me about the role of voice (helpful, when your favorite author winds up being Faulkner...)

    Of course there are others (non fiction: Krakauer, Hillenbrand, come to mind; deeper: Tim O'Brien, Saramago; more fantastic: Guy Kay, Herbert, etc. ) but, trying to stay within age range / contemporary, and gender neutral... that's where I started! if any of these seem like the right thread, let me know, and i can give you a bucket more.

Awesome contest. I would want to get The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak because I've heard a lot of good things about it. The idea of just learning how to read then discovering all these new books seems pretty exciting to me. Plus, some of my favorite books are by John Green and this one always comes up when looking at his books.
Speaking of which, I'm not sure if you're a nerdfighter or not, but if you haven't, you should totally read some of his books. The Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books by him, but his other ones are awesome as well.
You're already doing so through this contest, but DFTBA.

This is an amazing and incredibly generous gesture. Kudos to you!

My name is Aaron and The Book Thief is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it back in high school and let my sister borrow it. She then lost it. I haven't gotten myself a new copy, but I still love it.

My name is Spencer
I don't know if you know about this book, but it is my favourite!
The Book Theif by Markus Zusak.
It is a creatively wonderful book that is narrated by Death.
He depicted a story of a young girl who has to survive the dramatic years of the Nazis.
It is a very strong and powerful book that got me reading it from beginning to end in a flash and puts Death in a very different perspective.
Although you may think you might not like it because it is another World War book, it is absolutely amazing, a sure read through and a lovely new perspective to the world wars :)
I love it and i hope you do too!
Thanks for your consideration!
:)
