Book recommendations?
What are some book recommendations for high school students that are cutting edge and will grab their attention?
We have a good list of titles, but are always looking for new ones.
Some that our students are reading include Things They Carried, Secret LIfe of Bees, Caramelo, Catcher in the Rye, etc.
But we're always looking for new titles that are powerful, and that a variety of readers would be interested in. Our Eng. teachers do give choice titles as well for different assignments.
Just looking for new recommendations....Please share!

I serve kids from public, private and parochial schools so I always have the added excitement of parental censorship. If I have concerns on a read aloud (I read them first) I email the parents and give them options to read the book along with us.

I really enjoyed Planet Google by Randall Stross. Google's corporate culture based on collaboration and innovation is very inspiring.

Kite Runner for 16yrs and up has wonderful results for me in the classroom. The author also has wonderful podcasts on his site about the writing process. Its not for all districts but if you have an open admin it opens so many doors and helps students understand much about the modern history of the Afghan people.
