Dead End in Norvelt is the 2012 Newbery Medal Winner.
I liked the book--in fact I liked it a lot. It is the story of one summer in Jack's life (1962). There are fun characters, and the story is well crafted. There is one page with some potty humor that I thought was unnecessary, but it wasn't really offensive, just not realistic.
If you are looking for a book for a boy--this is a great one, although I think girls would like it just as much.
