Mine would easily be The Secret Keepers.
The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart is such a multi-layered, quirky, completely engrossing book about a boy wanting to escape his terrifying, dystopian life.
I enjoyed this book the most because it kept me guessing throughout and because the villain and his evil, booby-trapped house were depicted with genuine originality.
