I like reading magic, adventure and a bit-girly stuff like
A wrinkle in time
Megan Meade's guide to the McGowan boys
Three girls in the city
Some shopaholic books
Dianna Wyanne Jones
Little Princess
Harry Potter
Christopher Chant
Boys start the war (the whole series by Phylis Reynolds Naylor)

But i so don't want sensored stuff like
Private (Kate Brian)
a lot of books are sensored or in old english or classics or Shakespheran and i don't really favour them.

Just want something about a girl in high-school or magical stuff, adventure...

I tried searching this question on yahoo and i got some gd books but majority are sensored too much, or too boring, you know, not-my-type.

What do you recommend? And if you can, please give a synopsis. =)

Have you read GIrls in Love, Girls under pressure, and girls in tears by Jacqueline Wilson? Bascially about 3 girls and they fall in love, break up etc



Twlilight Series by Stepahnie Meyer about a girl who falls in love with a vampire and then a werewolf comes along etc.



Eragon and Eldest By Christopher Paolini (the third book comes out in Sept 2008 I think) about a boy finds an egg and it turns out to be a dragon, he's a dragon rider and has to fight bad guys with dragons etc



North Child by Edith Pattou it's similar to the classic Beauty and the Beast but more action and magic involved.



Dead Gorgeous by Malorie Blackman About a girl whos dad own a hotel. She finds a ghost and they just talk in the end the ghost falls in love with her and vice versa...etc



Angel By Cliff McNish about a girl who can see angels and she is stalked by a black angel who turns out to be her guardian angel and she also finds out a bit about herself and why she can see angels...etc



Lionboy Triology by Zizou Corder about a boy who can talk to cats and one day his parents are kidnapped. he has to embark on a journey top find them, meeting some enemies along the way.



Princess Diaries Series by Meg cabot About a girl who finds out she is a princess and lots of things happen : love, break up etc



hope some of these books are ok. I have read all of these and I loved them all. =]

Try Avalon series; It's about three teenage girls who are worlds apart. They a chosen to protect a world called Avalon using magic stones.

The story is pretty interesting and the characters are quite realistic.



If your looking for a single book try : The Cry of Icemark by Stuart Hill-

It's about a 14 year old red-headed girl who's forced to lead her Kingdom into war.

It's really good and not too serious.



For a trilogy try: The Adventures of Eugenides by Megan Whalen Turner-

About a thief who's actually more than a thief. Really really interesting book and I'd recommend it more than anything! I fell in love with all the characters! The plot is FANTASTIC! So I dont want to tell you the entire synopsis. Sorry....hehehe..



Another really good series is: Seventh Tower by Garth Nix.

Ah.....story's a bit foggy...heh..read it over 5 years ago. But it's another recommened book. Everyone I've lent it to has fallen for it!



Enjoy!

The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot! It's about a girl (teenager) with a third eye who transfered to a new house, only to find out that there is a handsome ghost already living in her room! In the series, she saves the world by using her third eye powers and eventually falling in love with her ghost roommate. :)



Whenever I start a Mediator book, I tend to finish it the day after--I can't just simply put the book down. It's sooo fun. Not so shallow, but not very deep, too. :D

The Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce was good. It's about these 4 young teens that learn they have rare magical powers. They team together and have to overcome challenging obstacles. I loved these books and have read them a couple times. Hope you enjoy

Christopher Paolini:

In the first book, Eragon, a young man finds a mysterious blue stone in the forested mountains above his home in Alagaesia. Along with his blue dragon, Saphira, Eragon is stumbling about because things are happening to him which he does not understand. His inner goodness and common sense enable him to muddle through and he has some help from a couple of humans and some dwarfs. In the second book, Eldest, the dwarfs, elves, humans, Eragon, and Saphira have joined forces against evil. Eragon and Saphira have begun training to understand and improve their skills. A new, red dragon makes an appearance. I've been told that in the third book a golden dragon will appear. It has just been announced that the third book, Brisingr, will be available on September 20, 2008. Originally planned as a trilogy, Paolini has recently decided that there will be four books in his Inheritance Cycle.



John Beachem:

Storms of Vengeance is John's first novel and I've been told that it is part of a series of 8 to 10 books. There is a murder mystery to be solved. Who did it and why? There is a mythical Lorradda Stone to locate. There are three parallel stories as we follow the actions of three different groups of people. There are also some ogres, two elves, several sorcerers, a troll, and one very impressive river monster. The book ends with a cliff hanger. One reason that young people gave for liking Harry Potter was the detail in the stories. They will find plenty of detail here as well. The title of the second book in the series will be The Hunter and the Marked.



David Eddings:

There are three stories in Volume I of The Belgariad: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit. Volume II of The Belgariad has two stories: Castle of Wizardry and Enchanters' End Gambit. If you are looking for grand adventure and plenty of detail it is here. Some may object to the slow progression and limited action of this tale. A sorcerer and his daughter, a sorceress, have gathered together a group of individuals to fight evil. It seems that the particular make-up for this group is necessary based upon an ancient prophecy. The group includes: the Nimble Thief, the Man with Two Lives, the Blind Man, the Dreadful Bear, the Knight Protector, the Horse Lord, the Bowman, the Queen of the World, and the Mother of the Race that Died. A young boy named Garion, who was raised by his Aunt Pol, is caught up in all of this, though he doesn't know why. But then, is she really his Aunt? There is so much detail that I have not as yet confirmed there are no mistakes in the mapping of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed The Belgariad and look forward to reading the sequel, The Mallorean.



The Mallorean Volume I: Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, and Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings

The Mallorean Volume II: Sorceress of Darshive and The Seeress of Kell by David Eddings

Polgara, the Sorceress by David Eddings
