I like some Lois Lowry books (The Giver, Gathering Blue and messenger.) Alice Hoffman has some interesting ones as well - The Green Angel, Indigo and Aquamarine.
Ever read any Gary Paulsen? He wrote Hatchet and Brian's Winter as well as a number of others. I thought he wrote one about a young boy that joins the service during the Civil War, but can't think of name.
Lurlene McDaniel's books are good, but those I've read so far have been sad.
You might check into Walter Dean Myers. I've read Monster and some other work.
Another book I've only been able to skim a few times is Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper. It's about a high school basketball player that has the time of his life, until he makes a fateful decision.
Whirligig is another interesting book I picked up by Paul Fleischman. A young boy gets angry, drinks himself into a stupor and then tries to kill himself.

I loved Meg Cabot's Mediator series and would highly recommend those books. The series is about a teenage girl who can speak to ghosts and is forced to move across the country into a haunted house. These books reminded me of Twilight insofar that they were action packed, humorous and romantic.
Also, if you liked Uglies you might want to check out Peeps by Scott Westerfeld as well. It is a very unusual vampire story in which vampirism is a disease which is spreading like a plague. Personally I liked Peeps much better than Uglies.

_Speak_ is amazing, I love it.
_Dreamland_ is good. So is _Go Ask Alice_ (but I recommend asking your parents before you read it...)
_Postcards From Nowhere_, if I remember correctly, was quite good. _The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time_ is also very good. I read _The Number Devil_ one year for summer reading and loved it. _Life is Funny_ is good. _The View From Saturday_ is also amazing.
