House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Matt Alacran is a clone living in Opium, which used to be known as Mexico.  He is the clone of El Patron, the leader of Opium, which thrives of drugs.  Matt is treated lower than a beast, because he is a clone, except for the few that actually love him.  Soon, Matt discovers the secrets that can bring down the Opium empire.  This is a great book that received several awards and I would recommend this to sci-fi lovers.
