Can any1 recommend a book by an american author at the high school reading level?

Question

We have to pick a book by an American Author, at least 200 pg, and at high school or higher reading level. Any suggestions?- brief synopsises would be appreciated!

Answer 1

twilight - stephenie meyer - Now this is going to sound bad but it's actually amazing and they're making it into a movie.  It's about a girl who moves from Arizona to the small rainy town of Forks, WA.  She meets this beautiful but bizarre boy who turns out to be a vampire.  The whole time he's telling her he's too dangerous but they fall in love (now I know it sounds lame, I wouldn't read it at first) but it's an amazing romance and it's addicting.  Give it a try, it's fantasy for those who don't like fantsasy and those who do.

Uglies - Scott Westerfeld - Tally lives in a place where at 16 you get comsmetic surgery and move to the "pretties" town.  Some of her friends realize the shallowness of the practice and try to find a new way of life.

Answer 2

   "The Road",,by Cormac McCarthy.

Answer 3

My suggestions really depend on what type of books you enjoy reading.

Nancy Werlin, Alex Flinn, and Laurie Halse Anderson are good realistic authors.

Nancy Farmer and Maria V. Snyder aren't bad in fantasy

Vivian Vande Velde, Neal Shusterman, and Scott Westerfeld are pretty good with dark fantasy.

Alane Ferguson, Gail Giles, and Pete Hautman all write mysteries.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Catcher in the Rye

Red Badge of Courage

Prince of Tides
