I'm not OP, but Black Swan Green is lovely. The main character has a stutter and as a result the book totally nails what it feels like to grow up with a speech impediment. (Spoiler alert: having a speech impediment in middle school sucks!) It also just nails what it feels like to be a kid in general, where your opinion of the adults around you (not to mention your entire sense of self) starts to evolve in weird, unexpected ways.
