I think you would enjoy The Power of One. It was published in the early 1990's, but I hadn't read it until last year. It is about a young boy growing up and trying to make sense of the world. There is also a movie--but it is not nearly as exceptional as the book. Oh, another reason I had passed over the book several times in the last decade was because it has boxing in it, but that might be an attraction for a younger reader.

The Salmon of Doubt.
After Douglas Adams' untimely demise, his editor looked at EVERY unfinished written work he had on his many computers and compiled them into his final book. There is not story to the book. Mostly a bunch of interesting little musings about Life, The Universe, and Everything, and a few unfinished story ideas that never made it. Quite an interesting read, if I do say so.

I would recommend a true story 432 page book.
I would say: Chicken Soup For The Couple's Soul or
Chicken Soup For The Pet Lover's Soul.Two are true
stories jammed into a 432 page book.There many selections to come from.Research about the title(s) if you like.These are the BEST SELLING NEWYORK TIMES AUTHORS!You can buy or borrow it at your local library if you live in US.
