Cornelia Funke's The Thief Lord is a very good young adult novel. I know it might be surprising that I actually have time to read "for pleasure," as it's termed, and I really don't have the spare time. But if I don't read, I get crabby and burnt-out and critical of everything. Books stabilize me, I guess.
I am saving the new Harry Potter until after my pre-service training ends. So I have some self-restraint.

Books stabilize me too, my friend. Though right now I'm reading something volatile? It's a book of poems, _Crush_ by Richard Siken. It won the Yale Younger Poet prize--very intense!
