What are some inspirational books for teenagers?

My sister who is a guidance counselor in a local school is looking for inspirational books. She thought of requesting these books for the library because this will be a big help for teenagers especially those who have peer and family problems. She already made a list but she needs more.Most inspirational books that I have read caters to adult. Can you recommend some books that inspire teenagers?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You'll laugh. Donald Trump's "Think Big and Make it Happen in Business and Life." Co-Written with Bill Zanker, founder of The Learning Annex.

Here's a $6 paperback:
http://www.amazon.com/Think-Big-Make-Happen-Business/dp/B002NPCUDU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276152877&sr=1-1

Notice how the title changed--it's less Trump now.(both covers pictured)

Read the summary and interview with Donald Trump here:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=think+big+and+kick+ass&x=0&y=0

It's the absolute best book.I have ever read. I was in my 30s with a child when I read it, but I've read the unabridged hardback, pictured at bottom, cover to cover four times and I think kids could get something from it.

Kids will know him from "The Apprentice," but I grew up in the New York area In the 1970s and 1980s when he got his start in real estate. He was always on the news for something.

The book talks about overcoming incredible obstacles that stand in your way, how he started the Trump Organization with a single phone call (I actually started a business the exact same way) and much, much more.

For six bucks, your sister could read it if she doesn't think it's a good fit for kids.
