Bruiser by Neal Shusterman

This is my first Shusterman read, and man am I hooked.  Bruiser is a story told by four different narrators involved in the unfolding events of Brewster's (aka Bruiser's) new life.  We have Bronte, her brother Tennyson, Brewster, and his little brother Cody all telling the story from their very different perspectives, from which we piece together the bits of truth amid the emotionally-charged narrations.  Shusterman's writing style allows the reader intimate glimpses into each of the main characters, showing us that all is not as it seems--even to the key players themselves.  This is a MUST read for high school students into the paranormal.
