I like the Maximum Ride series.
Shutter Island was a good book as well.
Oh, and of course, Hachiko Waits. I remember crying after I read that book as a kid.

Another addition is The Genius in All of Us. It's pretty much about how people aren't born as geniuses but raised as them because of the whole GXE instead of G+E thing (G=Genes, E=Environment). It takes a lot of work to be a genius.
