I vote for Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. I'm not sure if the club has already read it but it's one I read a few years ago and I still remember how much I enjoyed it. Below is the overview:

Rachel Kalama, a spirited seven-year-old Hawaiian girl, dreams of visiting far-off lands like her father, a merchant seaman. Then one day a rose-colored mark appears on her skin, and those dreams are stolen from her. Taken from her home and family, Rachel is sent to Kalaupapa, the quarantined leprosy settlement on the island of Moloka'i. Here her life is supposed to end—-but instead she discovers it is only just beginning.

Also, if you're ever in the Hawaiian Islands, you can actually tour the settlement on Moloka'i.

I don't know if anyone has seen this book, it's just came out recently.

The Tales of The Chosen by Matthew Faulkner

It is a short read but a really funny book to read. Here is the summary from the back(I bought a copy xD).



SUMMARY:

It was a tough time to be alive in the world. The world had grown so intellectually advanced that children were required to commit years, even decades of their lives to their fields of study. It was not like the simple times of the past where peace and harmony were secured. Political greed and corruption surrounded the world like the air we breathe. In these “institutions of learning” secret mind controlling classes were taught to “The Chosen” or more commonly referred to today as “Students”. Not all individuals reacted to these evil teachings. Revolts would commonly spring up but were quickly silenced…except for the ‘Muffins’.
The Muffins played as fools pretending to bend to the will of the Institutions of Learning, but in the shadows of the night carried out their plans. Not much was known about the Muffins except that their actions spontaneously changed the world forever. This story has been past down from generation to generation by word of mouth and writings but no one is sure if these events truly happened or just a mere fictional tale whispered about through the halls of the world.

Genre: Mystery,Suspense,Action,Drama,Syfy
ISBN-13: 978-0-615-77858-7
ISBN-10: 0615778585
