Singularity:
Harry and Barry are twins. Their parents have gone on a trip and sent them to an isolated farm out on the prairie. (Missing parents!) Barry's the dominant twin, so much so that even though they're identical, people remark that Harry acts like he's the little brother. When they meet a girl, Harry isn't the one she goes for.
Out on the farm is a shed. One day Barry steps inside and the door slams behind him. Harry immediately opens the door again to find Barry asleep and in need of a shave. He thinks he's been locked in overnight. It turns out that inside the shed is a singularity which distorts time. For every second that goes by outside the shed, an hour goes by inside.
The reason I chose this book is because it takes me back to my elementary school days when I would stay inside during rainy school days for recess and just read book after book. I was a bit of a geek/nerd so I escaped torment by getting lost in fantasy worlds and developing the look and feel of the worlds with my own mind. To me there is nothing better than a book to escape a rainy day.
My first favorite was Singularity. I first read it in 7th grade immediately following Jurassic Park and have been hooked ever since. The one I'm reading now is The Immortal Series by Ted Dekker. I highly recommend them!
Singularity by William Sleator!
It's a William Sleator book. I devoured those all in middle school:

Singularity
My son's favorite at that age was [Singularity] (http://www.amazon.com/Singularity-William-Sleator/dp/0140375988/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1406035744&sr=8-5&keywords=singularity)
My daughter liked (still likes) Diana Wynn Jones' books - see [Howl's Moving Castle] (http://www.amazon.com/Howls-Moving-Castle-Diana-Wynne/dp/0061478784/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406035839&sr=1-1&keywords=howl%27s+moving+castle&dpPl=1)
I've heard some pretty awesome things about this book.
This sounds somewhat similar to Singularity:
