In 806: A Novel, three artificially inseminated kids go on a road trip in a quest to find their biological father - the donor identified as the number 806 in the title. I love come of age stories and this is exactly that - you can see how KT, Gabe, and Jesse bond as they figure out who their father are, and, in the process, discover who they themselves are as well. Of course, as a YA novel some really absurd coincidences happen to the point that you sometimes get annoyed on how easy they managed to get out of some really tricky situations, but other than that, this was a nice story, entertaining, and full of surprises. It is also a quick read, mostly due to the great writing style. The whole book is written as an email to a forum that helps to reunite kids with donors.
