Seek by Paul Fleischman

From the back of the book:
Assigned to write his autobiography, highschool senior Rob Radkovitz decides to "listen" back on his life. As he remembers the voices of his younger self, his quirky family, and his closest friends, one stands apart - the haunting voice of his long-absent father, left behind on a single tape from one of his radio shows.

Told in a collage of past and present voices, Seek follows Rob's obsessive search for his father, pursued not through San Francisco's streets, but through the labyrinth of the airwaves. Open the cover and listen in - to psychic readers and pirate DJs, and to Rob's transforming views of his past and future.

I would recommend listening to it on CD or tape if you can, it comes across well that way.
