Try Visitors by Bob Chapman it's suitable for all ages. I must say it sounds like you are hard to please, perhaps it might have been better if you mentioned your likes and dislikes. I feel though whatever your taste you'll find the story in visitors, funny, sad and entertaining. it's on Amazon

Hey,
I work in a book store and a really popular series is of books called the Tomorrow Series, written by an Australian author called John Marsden. The first one is called Tomorrow when the War began. Its about a bunch of Austraian kids who go tramping in the outback, and when they return they find that Australia has been invaded, and all there family and friends are in POW camps. Its up to them to save the country, and at the same time deal with teenage issues.
There is also a series by Scott Westerfield, called Uglies, Pretties and Specials give them a try if youcan find them.
Happy reading.

How i live now by Meg Rosoff
Fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt and cousins she’s never met: three boys near her age, and their little sister. Her aunt goes away on business soon after Daisy arrives. The next day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy.
As power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated. Despite the war, it’s a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, a place where Daisy’s uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something rare and extraordinary. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown in the scariest, most elemental way.
A riveting and astonishing story.

What I prefer for a slightly alternative experience kids (someone who's floating away from the parents sense of values or religious stance) is the Everworld series. It has a mix of fantasy, ancient lore, various different religious takes, diverse characters, and is not at all preachy or ho-hum about any of it.
Fearless is also a good series. Well it was until about book 19. A girl withut the socalled fear gene? It was magic to me until, again, book 19.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series is pretty good. I also like books by Caroline B. Cooney and Joan Lowery Nixon. I hope this helps.

Well...
Anything by Jane Austen is good. I recommend starting with Pride and Prejudice.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is excellent.
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens is pretty good.
If you like fantasy then, of course, Lord of the Rings.
Green Rider by Kristen Britain is an exciting fantasy/adventure.
Chronicles of the Cheysuli by Jennifer Roberson is another good fantasy series.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare -it might not be fully about vampires but I truly thought that I was claimed to Edward cullen character but then I discovered Jace Wayland. It’s an Urban Fantasy romance, I absolutely love this book, the story line is incredible and the characters are awesome and make you laugh heaps. The truth about forever by sarah dessen " honest, relatiable and It's truly unbelievable" uglies by scott westerfeld "ugly until age 16 when they'll undergo an operation that will change them into societys pleasure-seeking "pretties." the hunger games by suzanne collins "In the televised event hunger games there can only be ONE winner"
