Besides Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower?
I'm going to the bookstore now and I've loved all three of those books.

If you loved those, try these...
The Moves Make the Man and Midnight Hour Encores, both by Bruce Brooks.
Those Summer Girls I Never Met by Richard Peck.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, any S.E. Hinton book really, Rumblefish or That Was Then, This Is Now.
Then Again, Maybe I Won't by Judy Blume (one of her few books written from a male perspective...loved this one).
Edit: A Solitary Blue by Cynthia Voigt, great book as well.

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys by Chris Fuhrman. The tale takes place in 1970's Georgia and involves a group of altar boys trying to rescue their hand-made comic book (which depicts the teachers involved in all sorts of questionable activities) from the principal.
Was also made into a little-known film staring Kieran Culkin, Emile Hirsch, Jodie Foster and Jena Malone. Todd McFarlane's (Spawn) team did the animated parts.

i'm relatively bowled over no person has pronounced this: HARRY POTTER! ok, properly, you will see that how he grows up and turns right into an adolescent contained in the later books, and then that is like, WOW, because of the fact he even turns right into a guy. You form of do no longer actually have a call while the main threatening man or woman ever to stroll the face of the Earth (which Voldemort relatively could be if he have been genuine) is once you, and desperate to kill you.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd-an excellent novel that takes place in the sixties, and is about a summer that changed a young girl's life forever. Very powerful book, full of symbolism and hope.

Very Far Away From Anywhere Else - Ursula K. LeGuin (1976)
This may be tough to find, but it's oh so worth it. It's a short book, but speaks volumes. I went through a similar experience that's depicted in this book, and it was great to know I was not alone. I cannot recommend it enough! I hope you can find it!!
