Reading: Young adult books based in Pittsburgh

Help your young adult with her reading skills by reading a book based in Pittsburgh.  You can read along with her to increase her reading comprehension, critical reasoning and vocabulary building.  I can only think of two books set in Pittsburgh:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (note: this does contain some "mature" subject matter, so I recommend reading the book yourself first before recommending it to your child)

The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiavarelli (set in southwestern PA).

Please post below if you know of any books set in Pittsburgh appropriate for children/young adults.
