The Sinister Pig by one of my favorite authors, Tony Hillerman. More adventures of Sgt. Jim Chee and Lt. Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police in Arizona and New Mexico. Tony Hillerman paints a great picture of life in this desert country corner of the US. I love these stories.

A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass. It's a young adult novel that deals with a girl coming of age with a condition (synthesia - look it up on wikipedia) that she has to learn about and deal with. It's a very interesting story.
