The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
This book is about a man named Matteo Alocran (called El Patron) having a clone. The clone's usefulness is if El Parton gets sick and an organ dies, Matt's (the clone's) organs will come to be helpful for El Patron. When El Patron dies on his 148th birthday, Matt is kicked out. Matt has to survive on his own by going through several places and almost through death. Matt meets new people and friends. I think it got the award because it is an interesting and captivating book.
