"Fallen", by Lauren Kate would be an excellent book for middle or high school libraries. The storyline is about star-crossed loves who reunite every 17 years only to be tragically ripped apart...repeat. There's also a bit of mystery and some religious overtones tossed in as you learn the origins of the characters. This particular reincarnation finds the characters at a reform school for various misdeeds. Parts of the story dragged on a bit, but the characters were interesting and make the reader want to get to the bottom of the mystery. The second book in the series is due to be released this fall.
For those who would like specific details regarding appropriateness, there isn't any sex or explicit scenes, although there is some kissing. There are a few fights and an epic battle, but most details are left out.
