Shift by Charlotte Agell
This is a high-interest, fairly easy read. I think this is perfect for reluctant teen readers, particularly boys. There is a lot of action and a lot of fun things that hook you in like the technology, the penguin, and that his sister is something of a precog. Like good science fiction it plays on current events and asks "what if." The authors presents higher level ideas about religion, government, ethics, and free-will that people can really delve into for a great book discussion. A great way to start conversations about separation of church and state, global warming, evolution/creationism, the PATRIOT Act, weapons of mass destruction, and genocide.
