Just read The Returning by Christine Hinwood, which got a Printz Honor. I really liked it--the characters and the setting were really interesting. But I'll admit it's a challenging read. There isn't really a direct plotline; it's more a collection of related short stories, some of which are less plotty than others. Also, the writing tends to be opaque--it can be hard to understand what's happening at any given moment, and it's especially difficult to interpret the dialog. Even so, I found it engrossing and came to really enjoy the characters.
