I just answered one question very similair to this. Here's the list I gave the last asker.



Okay, If you want...



A Laugh and an Easy Read-

The Clique Series. (Which now has seven books in the series.) It was a hilarious look at one private middle school clique and all the "drama" they go through. The whole series was hard to put down and I stayed up way to late reading each one of them.



A Cultural Experience-

Memoirs of a Geisha. It took me a while to read, and isn't exactly teen reading. But it still had a sence of romance in it. It's the story of a geisha and how her life changed because of the war.



A Ghost Story (Mixed with Love)-

A Certain Slant of Light. It may have some very "adult" scenes. But the story is very interesting and the twists and turns it take make it hard to stop reading. This book is the story of a woman ghost who can only be seen by one other person. And the mystery unfolds from there.



A Simple Love Story-

A Walk to Remember. You may have seen the movie, but the book is completely different. At the end of this story I felt uplifted and sad at the same time. It's about an unexpected love between two southern teenagers, very different from eachother.



An Inspiring Story-

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. (There are now four in the series.) An amazing story of a bond between four unliekly girls. I gasped, I cried, I laughed.(Cheesy but true.)



A New Kind of Historical Book-

The Red Tent. When I chose to read this book for school over summer vacation I figured it would be another boring textbook novel. But instead this story of Dinah, a bibical character, unfolds to be a beautiful story of love, betrayal and adventure. (No need to be religious to enjoy this book either.)



A Hard-Hitting Book-

Looking for Alaska. This book was amazingly written and very witty. It had an edge of realism that so many teen books lack. There was a breathe taking twist and characters that seemed so real. I was so sad when it was over.



AN AMAZING SUMMER BOOK THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET!!!:

Twilight. (There is a sequal New Moon) You may have read it or not, but I can't imagine suggesting books to someone without including Twilight. It's an amazing story of love that is close to impossible to forget. I've already read it three times. It's between a Vampire and a Girl named Bella. But I strongly suggest that you figure out the rest on your own. One of my favorites or maybe even my favorite book I've ever read.



I hope you enjoy them! Good Luck.

Here's my absolute favorite start from the top to the bottom.



*1. Meagan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian



2. Private (Easton Academy) Series by Kate Brian



3. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli



4. Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson



*5. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen (very famous teen author)



*6. Eleven, and the sequel Twelve by Lauren Myracle



7. I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter



8. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepherd



9. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Anne Brashares



10. The Other Sister by S. T. Underdahl



11. Perfect by Natasha Friend



12. The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty



The ones that have the stars by them are really famous teen authors that you should look at other books from. The easist place to do this is Barnes & Noble's website : http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ Here you can look at the books, reviews, reviewers reccomendations, and you can see what other books that person bought with the one you are looking at.



Hope I helped!!! and if you dont read any of these, you MUST read the first one I listed... I've never read a book better than that one.

I'd advise you to take a look at In time of violence by Karina Kantas



Think of the Outsiders but in London UK.



In times of violence is a hard-edged urban thriller which will have you glued to the first page. A roller coaster of emotions. This is a book you will not want to put down.



A teenage girl becomes a member of a tough bikers gang. She learns what it's like to have a family of brothers and also pays the price for her standing within the gang. With violence, drugs, a romantic triangle that had disastrous consequences, there's laugher and tears. Everything you want from a teen novel.



Check out the reviews.

Read "Surfer Girl" by Penelope Dyan, the story of teenaged Summer who surfs the waves of her life as she surfs the ocean. Summer is a girl with both a dream and a legacy, and is a girl just like any other teenaged girl, ordinary and extraordinary. This book was recognized by the Girls Voices In Literature Database, University of Miami Florida, and is the first book in a series of books about the girl named Summer. Ingram listed, and available on Amazon.com, etc. , also available in first editon, author signed copies directly from the publisher. Go to www.bellissimapublishing.com for more information about the Surfer Girl Book Series--well written, positive gender image, great storylines! This is why it was recognized by The Girls Voices In Literature Database.

I'm not a girl but i suppose i know some good "feministic" books



mystery- books by James Patterson are good for teenagers i guess, some bad language but really great reading



fantasy- try Harry Potter.... i'm not much of a fantasy reader



action- try books by anthony horowitz, probably the Alex Rider series, good action and no bad language (i guess that's bad in some ways...)



try these books, their really good

the summer boys seriesby haley abbot is amazing! there are three books out now from the series (summer boys, next summer, after summer). may 1st, the last book is coming out called last summer. the books are really good but really easy reads.

also, i suggest any jodi picoult books, especially the tenth circle. they are a little bit more challenging, but still pretty simple and enticing.

You can go to Amazon.com and search:

"Lost from Atlantis Book 1"

"Death by Murder David Lindsay" - you have to search that way.

and "Super Spaghetti."



They're all available for free right now through Kindle Unlimited, which you can get with a free trial - Google how to get it. Then you can read it online or with a free Kindle phone app if you don't have a Kindle.

You absolutely have to read Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicholson by Louise Rennison. If this book does not make you laugh your **** off, then you need to find some help. It is incredibly sweet, witty and wickedly funny. Do yourself a favour and read it!! (I loved the main character so much I named my dog after her!!)
