Oblivion by Sasha Dawn
A year ago, Callie's father vanished. At the same time, a local girl also disappeared. A girl who was part of Callie's father's parish. Callie wonders if the secrets to these disappearance may be locked inside her head and in the words she frequently feels compelled to write on the nearest surface. 
I've only just started this one but it seems pretty compelling.

Revolution by Deborah Wiles
Sunny's whole world is changing. Her dad remarried a year ago and his new wife and her two kids are still finding their place in Sunny's family. Its the summer of 1964 in Mississippi and the world seems to be exploding around her. 
I'm a sucker for good historical fiction (especially set in the 60's onward) and I absolutely loved the first book in this trilogy, Countdown. These books integrate song lyrics, ads, images, and more from the era.

The Great Greene Heist by Varian Johnson
Jackson has a reputation for scheming and running cons in his middle school. After getting in trouble, he swears he's gone straight. Then his "nemesis", Keith, runs for student council against Jackson's former friend Gaby. Jackson's certain Keith is up to no good. He assembles a team for one final job: to make sure the election is fair. Can Jackson trick the bully without catching the attention of the principal who has it out for him?
Anyone who's ever enjoyed a heist movie will enjoy this book.

The Swift Boys & Me  by Kody Keplinger
The story of a girl trying to hold onto her friends when their whole world has changed. Sounds like a solid middle grade novel.
