The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Part paranormal romance, part mystery yet also part realistic fiction. I think SAMS 8th graders (and mature 7th graders) will really enjoy trying to put the pieces of Mara's life together along with Maya as she tries to do the same.  She's a regular girl who struggles to get along with her mom, resents her "perfect" older brother, and is terribly shook after an accident kills her best friends and other kids.  A move to Miami and a fancy private, prep high school is supposed to help her leave her demons behind.  But what secrets isn't Maya remembering?  Could they have anything to do with the present? Can handsome, loyal, fierce Noah help her make sense of it all?
