Frances Hardinge, guys. The perfect present for anyone.... I'd say 12+. Fly by Night, Fly Trap/Twilight Robbery, The Lost Conspiracy/Gullstruck Island, and my personal favorite, A Face Like Glass.
LOVE.
Also Code Name Verity. Plus a box of tissues. And I'd say Chime, by Franny Billingsley, which I've been reading over and over since it first came out, but the voice can be divisive. Or how about The President's Daughter series for a teenage girl? Especially for a teenage girl who likes politics. And idealism. Or for an adult who likes those things.
