"A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life" by Dana Reinhardt
Simone has never cared that she looks like an outsider in her blonde blue-eyed adopted family, or that her birthmother Rivka gave her away when she was only 16. She's got a pretty good life. She's starting her junior year of High School, has a great group of friends, and is crushing on the cute boy with glasses from the coffee shop who spends all his time with another girl. But Simone's life is turned upside-down when Rivka comes back on the scene and suddenly wants to be a part of Simone's life. What does Rivka want all these years later? And why should Simone care?

"Sea of Monsters" by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson is back at Camp Half-Blood, a special camp for the modern-day children of the Greek Gods. But upon his return he finds the camp is overrun by monsters. If that weren't bad enough, his best friend Grover has been kidnapped by a ravenous Cyclops and Percy is the only one who can save him. Percy and his best friend Annabel soon embark on a quest to find Grover and to try to stop the evil force out to destroy their beloved camp. Chariot races, sword fights, killer birds, and other crazy adventures ensue. I love this book! If you haven't read The Lightning Thief, you should really read that one first, just so you get the backstory, but this book is awesome.
