T.A. Barron-Pretty much anything by him, specifically the \"Lost Years of Merlin\" saga... Brian \"Head\" Welch-\"Save Me From Myself\" (he was the former lead guitarist of Korn and he talks about how he quit the band, kicked drugs and found God...it contains a bit of profanity, though) Charles Higson-The Young Bond series (stories about James Bond before he was 007 aka: amazing) Eoin Colfer-The Artemis Fowl series Stephen R. Lawhead-The King Raven series (it\'s about Robin Hood) Jordan Sonnenblick-\"Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie\"...it\'s funny. That\'s all I can say without ruining it. It\'s a really touching story.
