Intense books

A couple of students were in the library recently looking for "intense books," which they defined as being edge-of-your-seat emotional reading but not particularly scary in the usual horror sense. I found a few books for them right off the bat (The rules of survival, Such a pretty girl), but after they left more and more books kept coming to mind. The list I have thus far is below, with book cover images linking to the PRHS library catalogue.
