What about The Giver by Lois Lowry? I haven't read it so I don't know if it's appropriate.

I was about to suggest this very book. Actually there are a couple others in that series.

The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, and That was then, this is now, all by SE Hinton

IDK what your age ranges are, but what about the Wimpy Kid series, and the Dork Diaries? Little younger crowd, for those.

Have fun shopping!!!
