I have a copy of "Fade" by (someone) Courmier. It's a fantastic "coming of age" book - nothing like Judy Blume. Completely compelling. I don't think you need to be a kid to relate to it. It takes place in an old mill town in New England about a French Canadian family and a son who doesn't fit in. I just related so well to the story and the writing is superior. I think it won some awards too.
I love this board.
