Steve doesn't say what grade level except higher than Alex Rider.
With that in mind, David Levithan has two new novels out--Love is the Higher Law
and Wide Awake.
Both are good for high school. I am adding them to my blog shortly.

Subject: TAR: New books for YA boys?
I went to Borders last night to see what titles for young adults looked
captivating on the shelves...
I came up with about 60 titles to delve into further, but only about 5 of
those had any appeal for
YA boys. That isn't the only place I'll be looking, of course, but what
books for boys are you
finding and liking? I could use a soccer title or two for sure, but also
action and suspense (above
the Alex Rider level, if possible), and coming-of-age stuff. The usual!
But new.
Thanks!
Steve
