Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi, Fantasy, 326 pages.
In a bleak future world, Nailer and his crew scavenge whatever they can find from grounded oil tankers. They dread the day when they outgrow access to the smallest of spaces, when they are no longer able to work "light crew" and their choices are limited to "heavy crew"-good if you have muscle and no morals, like Nailer's dad, or selling body parts. When Nailer and crew-mate Pima find a "lucky-strike," a clipper-ship run aground in a storm, he must decide if his future lies with this potentially rich salvage, or with the girl aboard the ship who needs his help. A little grim and scary for younger kids, but not too scary for those of us in our late forties.
