Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?
Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls. Skif is intelligent, good-hearted and creative enough to forage up three meals a day in a place where food is scarce and kindness almost unheard of. After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.
Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera, Book 1) by Jim Butcher.All the people of Alera are bonded with elemental furies which come to them in their childhood or early adolescence - except Tavi, who at 15 does not have his fury yet and is considered somewhat of a freak.
However, it is Tavi and the escaped Cursor Amara who will set off a chain of events that will change their world and help foil an invasion attempt of their home instigated by traitors. This is an action-adventure fantasy novel that moves along at a brisk pace with a fairly wide cast of characters.

If you like fantasy, King Fortis the Brave. It's about a pair of twins that are pulled into a fantastic realm. One is thought to be this King Fortis, returned after many centuries as promised by an ancient prophecy. It's a quick, easy read. One of my favorites and one I've used in the classroom many times.

Well, that's not very specific. I don't know if you like romance or action or fantasy or sci-fi or dramatic stuff or... You get the idea. However, I do love my YA books, so here are a few recommendations:
Anything by Scott Westerfeld. (Titles include Midnighters, Uglies, Peeps) But only if you like sci-fi. They are amazing.
Anything by Tamora Pierce. (Wild Magic, Squire, Alanna) But only if you like fantasy-type things.
Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. This book is one of only two that has ever made me cry. So amazing. Good for everyone, sort of like the Lovely Bones.
The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane. (If you like fantasy and sci-fi)
Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz if you like New York and vampires.
Hope that at least a few of these suggestions help!

The Convenant by Beverly Lewis is very interesting and different if you like reading about different kinds of people. It is about an Amish girl and it is sort of a romance.
