If you are looking for some very readable Young Adult books for older teens, here are my current recommendations:
  Storky: How I Lost My Nickname
and Won the Girl by Debra Garfinkle High School Freshman Mike Pomerantz also known as "Storky" (due to his resemblance to a stork) is just trying
to find a place in the complicated high school world that we all know so well. With a slightly geeky reputation, Mike's older sister, Amanda, couldn't be more opposite.
Not only does he have to deal with his parents divorce and the difficult ways of his selfish father, he must cope with seeing his life-long friend and secret love, Gina,
find a boyfriend and slip out of his life. On top of that, Mike's mother starts dating his creepy and overly friendly dentist, as his goal to win the heart of Gina fades
away. Told in a journal style, "Storky" is a slightly risqu? but hilarious story.
  A Brief Chapter in my Impossible
Life by Dana Reinhardt Sixteen-year-old Simone has always known she was adopted but lacked the desire to meet her biological family. But now, her
parents are encouraging her to meet her birthmother, Rivka, who is interested in meeting and creating a relationship with Simone. So out of curiosity, Simone agrees to
meet Rivka, where she learns about a life of religion and tradition she never knew she had. Just as things are going well for Simone and she is started to put the pieces
