Well, it is getting close to being time for (don't look) SCHOOL to start again...
But if you're still looking for that one last great summer read, I have a few things to suggest. I just finished reading a fantasy by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory called "Phoenix Unchained". It's in the adult Sci-fi section, but it really could be a YA novel. Tiercel and Harrier set out on a blind journey to find someone who can help Tiercel master his newly-discovered and uncontrolled High Magery. Unfortunately, High Magic vanished from the world over 2000 years ago, so their only hope is to reach the almost mythical elven lands far to the north. Their quest leads them further than they ever imagined, and deep into danger.
One of the most fun things about this novel was seeing the changes that have come over the world Tiercel lives in since the previous series of novels (the Obsidian Trilogy), set 2000 years earlier. But even if you have not read those, Harrier and Tiercel are really great characters, whose story will interest and excite you.
I also just finished reading "Switch" by Anthony Horowitz. A much shorter story, it involves Tad and Bob, boys who wake up to discover that they have swapped places. Tad finds himself torn from the embrace of his loving, and very wealthy family, only to discover that life is not what he thinks it is... this is a fast-paced but very fun adventure. You'll like it!
