We Are All Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen

This book is, at its heart, about losing a parent either through divorce or death and what happens when the world keeps moving forward. It's a contemporary but is not the light, fluffy kind.
One boy loses his mom but looks forward to a change in his family because he always wanted a sibling. He is very smart but not so good at the social aspects of being a teenager.
One girl suffers an abrupt change in her family in a way she never expected. She does not want her family to change and she certainly doesn't want her social status to suffer.
Not every person is who you see them as. Many exceed your expectations and many don't deserve your esteem. Being a teenager is a gauntlet of disappointment and surprise and change. This story was not an easy one but it is a good one.
