Winger by Andrew Smith

Ryan Dean West is a fourteen-year-old boy at a boarding school. He's living in Opportunity Hall, the dorm for troublemakers, and rooming with the biggest bully on the rugby team. And he's madly in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a little boy. Can he lean on his friends – and his sense of humour – to find a way out of this mess?

A funny and realistic portrayal of boarding school life, with a twist ending you won’t see coming!

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Despite the tumour-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her personal final chapter was inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You ’ll laugh, you ’ll cry, and then come back for more.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Now he must navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. An essential coming-of-age story that will ring true for anyone who has had to overcome their own self-doubt.
