I hate that a lot of them seem to have rather shallow writing styles as compared to "real" novels.

That it's the perspective of young protagonist with maturity and creativity.

What I hate?
All the teen protagonists conveniently have a car. A nice one at that.

Identity theft has just become a life style.

On a routine chore for his mother, 14-year-old Seth Miller sees a hole open in the air, a man exit the hole, and his own life change forever. The man, not so politely, shoves Seth through the portal and almost 300 years into the future.

Seth learns that the man assumed his identity perfectly and lived out his life in a quest for an unknown power, the black egg, and discovers similar identity theft is common in his new home, Antiquity. He meets exact, living replicas of Amelia Earhart, Mark Twain, and Jim Thorpe, among others, while having to train a new set of foster parents and to use his free time play in a cat-and-mouse thriller for that black egg.
