A good, kinda long teenage book?

Question

what are some appropriate books for my 15 year old

daughter, she loves to read and i wanna buy her a

good book. shes already read the twilight saga, the

harry potter books and the sisterhood of the traveling

pants series. thnks a million!

Answer 1

i agree, "Tuesdays with Morrie" is a great book, especially since it might impact some of her views on society (in a good way) which our culture is so keen on corrupting. It might seem a bit "boring," but i still liked it a lot. Stuff like "Into the Wild" and "Into thin air" is pretty good too.

id encourage some classics too

catcher in the rye, to kill a mockingbird, on the road (lots of s*x, parties, drugs but 15 is pretty old enough to handle it and it teaches a good lesson), etc

btw im a 17 male who also likes harry potter (however i dont enjoy reading as much as i used to but these books got my attention)

The 3 books above with asterisks are the books that I really loved, that suit your description perfectly. All the books I listed are good if not great, and kinda long. I hope his helps :)

Answer 3

dreamland by sarah dessen. pretty much anything by sarah dessen shes such a good writer. and im thirteen and its not too mature for me so it should be perfect for your 15 year old daughter. and the "pretty little liars" series by sara shepard are really great mystery books and tell the story of 4 girls and its really realistic. i also enjoy meg cabot books and the gossip girl series is really good but it might be a bit too mature because it has a lot of sexual refrence.

Answer 4

"The Great Divorce" by C. S. Lewis is profound, easy to read, and inexpensive.

"The Overachievers," Alexandra Robbins, is a good look into high school.

"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, is well-written, funny, and gives some good ethical examples.

"Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians," Brandon Sanderson, is funny.

"Soul Mates and Twin Flames," Elizabeth Clare Prophet, is good advice.

Answer 5

Gossip Girls series

Getting Lost With Boys

Waking Up to Boys(appropriate dispite the titles)

Answer 6

Any Tamora Pierce, Anne Bishop, and The Book Thief By Markus Zuzac are all great.

Answer 7

Tuesdays with morrie... it changed my life. Not real long, but long enough for a 15 year old. So profound.

Answer 8

Maximum Ride Saga:

The Angel Experiment

School's Out Forever

Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports

The Final Warning

            -- James Patterson

Those books mentioned above are really awesome. It's totally worth it.

Answer 9

I would suggest '' You don't know me'' by David Klass. He's not very well known but this book is brilliant. Stunning combination of brilliantly sardonic teen observation, lyrical writing, and humour.

Some of the scenes are laugh-out-loud funny, so the denoument comes as even more of a shock. John's problems may get a bit melodramatic at the end, but by then the reader is so immersed in his character that it is moving nonetheless.  

Answer 10

Anything by Sarah Dessen (especially This Lullaby, Just Listen, and The Truth About Forever) is great. I also love books by Meg Cabot (especially Avalon High and the Princess Diaries series) . Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is truly one of the best books I've ever read.
