The Diary of a Teenage Girl series by Melody Carlson is very good. As well as the True Colour series, also by her.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a kids series, but many teenagers have read it and loved it. Well written and a enagaing plotline.

The Floods series is also good. The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer is amazing.

2 Weeks in year 6, A Month in year 7 and Escape from yr 8 are all great books.

The Abhorsen series by Garth NIx.

Answer 9

1) The Witching hour by Elizabeth Laird

A 14 year old girl called Maggie leaves in 17th century Scotlnd with her grandmother. She and her grandmother are accused of witchcraft. Maggie manages to escape and adventure ensues.

It's a story about becomming brave (Maggie is a bit of a wimp at first) growing up,being a good person and standing up for yourself. Unlike many teen books for girls, it isn 't patronising and the characters are not idiots.



2) Abhorsen by Garth Nix is a young adult series that focuses on a young school girl who has a degree of control over death. She lives in 'our world' (sort of) but across the wall is a magical world no one really talks about. She crosses the wall (for reasons I won't mention for the sake of spoilers) and goes on a journey, battling the undead, falling in love and finding friendship and magic.



3) Daz 4 Zoe.

I can't remember the author's name, but the story is based in the near future. In the future, people are split into two groups, the rich (called 'Subbies' in slang) and the poor (called 'chippies.') These two groups distrust and resent each other, and are sealed away from one another. However, a young, posh girl called Zoe ends up meeting a Chippie called Daz. Despite being in different classes, they end up falling in love. And it goes from there...



4) The Girl who loved Tom Gordon. It's a small novel by Stephen King about a nine year old girl who gets lost in the wild. Its a really amazing story about the girls strength, the relationship between her and her family, her facing her fears (both the internal ones, the external real ones such as hunger and cold, and the supernatural one that is hunting her.)



5) He also has a book/graphic novel called 'Cycle of the Werewolf.' I think the title is self explanatory. The story protagonist is a young boy.



6) Mortal Engines by Philip Reeves. Mortal engines are based in a dystopian future and star a young man whose family are killed, and a violent, bitter girl whose face is heavily scarred. It's a love and adventure story, and is excellent.



7) The Reformed Vampire Support Group (where the vampires are weak and plain.) However, one has killed their own, and they need to find out who so that they can convince him they aren't a danger. It isn't amazing, but it's a fun read, a little different, the characters are more believable and has a decent plot.



8) Dream Spinner by Bonnie Dobkin. This is about a young girl and her friends, all of whom are dissatisfied with their lives (due to bullying and feelings of inadequacy.) They end up in this 'benevolent' mans house who offers them a dream world...and it goes from there.



9) Jane Eyre. Don't be put off because it's an old book. This novel is about a young woman called Jane. It starts off by briefly going through her rather sad childhood. As a young woman she is determined to be as independent as possible (her family are awful.) So she becomes a governess for a man called Mr Rochester. It's got romance and mystery.



10) The Darkest Powers Trilogy starting with The Reckoning. A girl called Chloe begins to see ghosts. Understandably she freaks out and ends up being packed off to a 'special school' for 'troubled' teens. There she meets two brothers and three girls. It soon transpires that this is no ordinary place. Certain children have Lizzy herself vanishes. There turns out to be a bit of a conspiracy, and all of the children, including Chloe actually have special powers. And there ends up being a bit of a love triangle-sqaure type thing between the characters.



11) M is for Magic and Coraline by Neil Gaiman. M is for Magic is a series of short stories, and some of them really are quite scary and creepy! Coraline, if you don't know the film, is about a young girl who find her 'Other Mother' who seems more perfect than her 'real mother.' And it goes from there...



12)'City of Beasts' by Isabel Allende. The main character is a normal fifteen year old boy who has to spend a summer with his crazy aunt. She works for the national geographic and is travelling to south America. Anyway, she takes him with her, and he meets all these people (natives and other travellers,) a special young 12 year old girl who he learns from and they get entangled in this amazing adventure. Supernatural and mystical themes.



13)There is a book called 'The Undrowned Child' by Michelle Lauric.It has quite a bit of 'supernatural' elements. It is based in Venice and it stars two children trying to save the city from an angry, powerful spirit. It's sort of like a mystery and supernatural story. You'll learn a lot about Venice, (it's very interesting) and she's really done her research into the legends and history. It's her first novel and it has received good critical reviews from critics so far.



Also, just about anything from Terry Pratchett. To start off I'd suggest 'The Wee Free Men."
