I need a good book please?

Jim's Life - it's about a soul transferrence, where one boy died in an accident after running from a crime, and another soul takes over the body. The body is revived at the hospital, and when the new boy awakens from his coma his brain damage affects his vision processing so that he sees the inner lights of people, the auras and the chakras. In time he learns to work with those light fields and becomes a touch-healer, drawing comparisions to Jesus. All the while he's on trial for a crime he didn't commit.

The Warrior Heir-its a series. by Cinda Chima

It's a fantasy book about the different magical guilds, the wizards, warriors, enchanters, sorcerers, etc. NO VAMPIRES!:)

What happens is the main character-Jack, forgets to take his medicine which actually tones down his warrior powers which he is unaware of until he accidentally ativates them during soccer practice. His aunt then tells him about the diffrent magical guilds and how Jack might be the last warrior standing, due to wizards(in heirarchy, are the top ranked and can own the other guilds) having excessive battles of Warriors to solve problems between the Houses, the Red Rose and the White Rose.

I found it to be a quite interesting series to read, the point of view changes between characters from time to time, but the books are mainly about boys.

Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger

The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut

I also read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, loved that one as well!

EDIT: Catcher & Curious Incident both have boys between the age of 18-25. Sirens is a really fun read but the guy is a little older...

"The Outsiders" is a great book too, just came to me.

"Brave New World" is awesome, that one is a classic like "Catcher in the Rye" and "Sirens of Titan."

I forgot about "Native Son"! by Richard Wright. THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ. I posted the description from Wikipedia..

The novel tells the story of 20-year old Bigger Thomas, an African American living in utter poverty. Bigger lived in Chicago's South Side ghetto in the 1930s. Bigger was always getting into trouble as a youth, but upon receiving a job at the home of the Daltons, a rich, white family, he experienced a realization of his identity. He accidentally kills a white woman, runs from the police, rapes and kills his girlfriend and is then caught and tried. "I didn't want to kill", Bigger shouted. "But what I killed for, I am! It must've been pretty deep in me to make me kill."

Wright gets inside the head of "brute *****" Bigger, revealing his feelings, thoughts and point of view as he commits crimes and is confronted with racism, violence and debasement. The novel's treatment of Bigger and his motivations conforms to the conventions of literary naturalism.

While not apologizing for Bigger's crimes, Wright is sympathetic to the systemic inevitability behind them. The novel is a powerful statement about racial inequality and social injustices so deep that it becomes nearly impossible to determine where societal expectations/conditioning end and free will begins. As Bigger's lawyer points out, there is no escape from this destiny for his client or any other black American, since they are the necessary product of the society that formed them and told them since birth who exactly they were supposed to be. "No American ***** exists," Wright once wrote "who does not have his private Bigger Thomas living in his skull." Frantz Fanon discusses this feeling in his 1952 essay L'Experience Vecue du Noir, or "The Fact of Blackness". "In the end," writes Fanon, "Bigger Thomas acts. To put an end to his tension, he acts, he responds to the world's anticipation."

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon.

EDIT

Well, he's fifteen. Sort of young.
