Recommendations please: "Around the world" - books/novels for YA/teen summer reading

<p>One the the mentions above ^ made me try to remember if The Places in Between is teen-friendly. I definitely agreed with its POV, but it’s about 10 years old and the details have fogged up on me. It’s a travel narrative by Scottish author Rory Stewart about his solo walk across north-central Afghanistan in 2002 (Wiki blurb). </p>
