So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld

Hunter Braque hunts Manhattan as a Trend Spotter, scouring for what's "cool," reporting back to focus groups for "The Client" (as in the massive, shoe franchise named after a Greek goddess with a four-letter name), and discovering local Innovators (the guys and gals on the top of the Cool Pyramid).

But when Hunter meets Jen, an Innovator seemingly missing any sort of risk-assessment or self-preservation instinct, his life gets turned upside-down. Within 48-hours, his boss (and his cell phone) go(es) missing, he is breaking and entering, riding in a stolen car, getting chased by suspicious individuals, charging over $2,000 on his credit card, and bleaching his hair...all in the search for the perfect, coolest pair of shoes...ever!

Something Rotten: A Horatio Wilkes Mystery by Alan Gratz

Some of us spend our Summer Vacations playing video games, chilling with friends, and catching up on daytime television, but Horatio Wilkes has a very different summer ahead of him. With an invitation to the palatial mansion of school friend Hamilton Prince, Horatio finds himself in Denmark, Tennessee, where the waters reek with pollution from the Princes' Paper Plant, where the servants know all the family's secrets, and where Hamilton's father has died under mysterious circumstances. With Hamilton depressed with his father's recent death and his mother's even more recent marriage to his father's brother (his Uncle Claude), Horatio must crack the case - and suspects are plentiful!
