I just finished I Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. This book was definitely contemporary fiction. I think this is a great book to teach kids about stories that do not take place in chronological order. It keeps the reader engaged. The three words I would use to describe it are as following:
Engaging-the way the story is written made me want to keep reading to find out what happened.
building-I knew what something was leading up to. I could see it a mile away. I kept waiting for other characters to discover the truth.
shock-I could totally understand the shock that one character went through when the whole thing came out.
That is interesting to read a book that doesn't take place in chronological order. That's a unique scheme that readers aren't able to interact with every day.
