Dooley Takes the Fall
by Norah McClintock
When 17-year-old Dooley discovers the body of a twelve-year-old boy, he knows he is in trouble. For one thing he’s already got a record. For another, the dead kid isn’t exactly a stranger – and he’s no friend. Slowly the net begins to close around Dooley as others begin to suspect he is responsible for other murders in the city.
Little Brother
by Cory Doctorow
Marcus is only seventeen years old, but he already knows how the system works. He is wise to the ways of the networked world and has no trouble outwitting his high school’s surveillance system. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco.

But with a move to a new school, Sophie has the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and has come up with a plan to befriend the popular clique.
