As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
This would probably fit best in a college course or an AP science/biology class. The story is a bit muddied with so many other people's story. It would be interesting if the author had written one for children/teens and condense the story to just Henrietta Lacks.
