Back in my junior high days the most influential book for me was a toss up between Run, boy, Run and SoldierX.
In highschool, I found No Country for Old Men, The Road, and Fast Food Nation extremely moving. Brave new world is up there as well.
Right now, I'm reading this and it's actually really great.
Also this book! https://www.amazon.com/One-Eye-Laughing-Other-Weeping/dp/0439095182
The entire Dear America series is wonderful!
The Devil's Arithmetic?
I read a book called Soldier X. In it, a women had died named Terra. I could not continue the book for a week because I was so upset. http://www.amazon.com/Soldier-X-Don-L-Wulffson/dp/0142500739
There is a very similar story I ready about in a book called Soldier X.
>16-year-old Erik Brandt is forced to fight for the emaciated German army, and because of his knowledge of the Russian language, he is sent to the Russian front. The train trip that Erik and the other young men take is symbolic of their transition from child to man. These boys are sent to the front with only a few weeks of basic training and the directions to kill or be killed. After the first battle, Erik makes the life-altering decision to take the uniform of a dead Russian soldier and pretends to be Russian for most of his remaining time as a soldier, surviving serious wounds and finding the love of his life while he recuperates in a war hospital. There he pretends to have amnesia and takes the moniker "Soldier X." When the hospital is attacked, Erik and his girlfriend escape. After a harrowing journey filled with enemy encounters, they find a safe house in Czechoslovakia and eventually make their way to Berlin.
Erik and his girlfriend eventually make it to the US and get married, and are still alive today i believe. Very good read. Soldier X
