Also STRUTS & FRETS by Jon Skovron, THAW by Monica M. Roe, IN THE BREAK by Jack Lopez, SURF MULES by G. Neri, PEAK by Roland Smith, and SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU by Peter Cameron. These recommendations are all over the map in terms of topic and tone, since we don't know the person in question. I've also heard good things about, but haven't yet read, FOOD, GIRLS, AND OTHER THINGS I CAN'T HAVE by Allen Zadoff, and CHESS RUMBLE by G. Neri.

They're very reluctant reader friendly. I Am the Messenger by Zusak The Making of Dr. Truelove by Barnes Shift by Bradbury Brothers Torres by Voorhees Mexican Whiteboy by de la Pena Deadline by Crutcher Sammy and Juliana in hollywood by Saenz Sunrise Over Fallujah by Myers Repossessed by Jenkins The Viking Warrior by Roberts. I think its harder for boys to find novels in bookstores, especially if they don't like fantasy. So I always try to have suggestions ready, hence the long list. I loved all of these titles.
