Good fiction books for a teenager that was recently published?

For my english class, I need to read a fiction book that was published in 2008, 2009, or 2010. All suggestions are GREATLY appreciated, because I really cannot find any!

    Poster Boy by Dede Crane C 2009

    The tomorrow Cody by Brian Falkner C 2008

    Paper Towns by John Green C 2008 <-- VERY good book

    Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer C 2008

    And after going through my entire bookshelf those are the only four I have found, sorry.

    Poster Boy (I haven't read it yet) is about a teen boy who works at a fast food restaurant. His sister becomes very ill with cancer and the boy quits his job because there's so many carcinogens in the food and he doesn't want to be a hypocrite. I'm guessing he goes on an anti-fast-food crusade, but I can't be certain.

    The Tomorrow Code is a science fiction book. That usually turns me away but this one was really good. The two kids in New Zealand are getting messages from the future...and they're from themselves! They have to save the planet. It really has a good moral to it about how we should treat the earth.

    Breaking Dawn is the fourth and final novel of the twilight saga. I didn't really like any of the series, but you may.

    And Paper Towns is about a group of friends (mainly one boy) in their senior year of high school who are looking all over the country for their friend Margo. It's an excellent book and I highly recommend it. It just came out in paperback too!

    I hope this helps! A suggestion may be to go to your bookstore and in the teen section look for something like "New and Hot" or "Recent Additions". I know Barnes and Noble has a shelf dedicated to the new additions to the teen section.

    If it's for your English class, you probably want to read something good, not something.. fluffy. I love fluff but English is a different matter :) Here are some books that are both great and are fit for the classroom.

    Paper Towns by John Green

    The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

    Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

    Going Bovine by Libba Bray (seems like fluff, but it's actually won the Printz Award)

    Terry Pratchett's "Nation" or "Unseen Academicals" are good, as is "Doomwyte" by Brian Jacques.

    There's also "The Immortals" by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell or G.P. Taylor's "Mariah Mundi and the Ghost Diamonds".

    You could also just go for a Dr Who novel, there are quite a few of them and they're *mostly* good.
