I'll second Green Rider. It's a bit longer than I'd absolutely like to suggest, but none-the-less a good choice. At $2.99 it's inexpensive enough, and there is a good Audible version for those who prefer to listen rather than read.
(Full disclosure -- I've already read this once, and several later volumes in the series, though it lost steam for me and I gave up on it ultimately. But enjoyed this book quite a bit.)
