Juvenile Fiction
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer - really interesting book that looks at the ethics of cloning for biological replacments, what people do to justify it. Sci-fi of the near future well thought out and executed society. Recommended for adults too!
The City of Ember & People of Sparks by Jeanne Duprau - I enjoyed the first in this series, the second fell a little flat. It was definatly geared more towards kids than adults. Rather moralistic, hit you over the head kinda read instead of letting you soak it in through the story.
The End of the Beginning : Being the Adventures of a Small Snail (and an Even Smaller Ant) by Avi - Very sweet book about friendship and adventure.
