[CALIBK12] titles for high school boy

[Arlette Menard]

I've promoted The Book Thief  by Markus Zusak because I really like this young Australian author.  One student returned to tell me that it was "the best book" he ever read.  Positive feedback from others too.

Hi everyone,
I have a picky reader, an 11 grade boy,  who enjoys realistic fiction.  But not gang related or sports related.  He recently enjoyed "I is someone else" by Patrick Cooper. He is a good reader.  I really find that there aren't a lot of choices for older boys, besides fantasy.  I appreciate any help with titles that you can think of.
