Biographies by Russell Freedman or Albert Marrin are good.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, a great trilogy for teens.
Books by Caroline Cooney or Lois Duncan or Joan Lowery Nixon are always exciting.

Try 'The Sound and the Fury' by William Faulkner.
It's like being in a fog with occasional glimpses of the world around you. Not an easy read because of the time shifts but worth sticking at.
