I recently read Wintergirls by Anderson which is about eating disorders, suicide,friendship, divorce, control, mental illness, and so many other issues. This would also qualify as bildungsroman ("coming of age"). Anderson uses some interesting techniques to describe Cassie's inner thoughts. Check out the book trailer below.
Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson
I really liked this book. It would fit with the 10H "Coming of Age" independent reading assignment. I think Anderson has a great way with dialog and the way she sets up situations that I think high school kids deal with.
