and if you're into horror...Stephen King's "Carrie" is a good one.





When I was your age, I also enjoyed "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World", but Michael Crichton (they are much better than the movies, but most books are)

Reply:I was forced to read "The Late Great Me" by Sandra Scoppettone in freshman year of advance English in high school---but it turned out to be an actually really cool book-and funny, too. Its about a girl about your age trying to overcome alcohol addiction.
Reply:The series that starts with 'Homecoming' by Cynthia Voigt. They are really good and are about a family, the eldest is thirteen. Their mum abandons them and so they walk to be with their grandmother. Also 'I am David' by Ann Holm, excellent, though sad. 'Truckers', 'Diggers' and 'Planes' by Terry Pratchett are funny and if you like fantasy books by Diana Wynne Jones are good. Start with 'The Lives of Christopher Chant'.
Reply:Eragon


Eldest


Harry Potter 1-7
Reply:All books by:


J.K. Rowling-Such as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


Dan Brown-Such as The Da Vinci Code


Christopher Paolini-Such as Eragon


Titus Huxford- Such as T.I.M.E.D.R.I.V.E.
Reply:"Looking for Alaska" by John Green. Absolutely fabulous book that will make you ball your eyes out.


Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz


"Eragon" and "Eldest"


and the Artemis Fowl series
Reply:I'm reading this good book called "my lost and found life"by melodie bowsher. Its about a girl who has a perfect life like popularity, a hot boyfriend, great fashion sense but then everything changes when her mom is accused of emmbezzling a million dollars and her mom suddenly dissapers. So she has no


money, no family and the worst thing is that she cant go to college and that her mom cant be found anywhere. I think its really good why dont you check it out.
