The Road and Blood Meridian are off the charts, especially the latter. I've never felt so depressed reading before. He's definitely one of the best contemporary American authors.

Easily:
Speak - by Laurie Halse Anderson
and any of her books, but Speak is my favourite. She is a brilliant writer, mainly for teens.

My current fave is The Alchemyst, by Michael Scott. It's a really cool fantasy story set in present day California. It's a part of a series, but the first book got me hooked and I'm waiting to pick up the second one.

I've thrown this up on a couple other boards, but the Alchemyst has an online game, sort of a companion to the first three books of the series: [url/] http://www.alchemystgame.com.
