  1. The most obvious one is Harry Potter. (It was and is the big one!!)

    Pendragon Adventures - D.J MacHale

    Alex Rider series - Anthony Horowitz

    The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp - Rick Yancey

    The Gatekeepers - Anthony Horowitz

    Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

    Uglies series - Scott Westerfeld (Noteworthy. It's time came and it was good.)

    Maximum Ride series - James Patterson

    Tales of the Frog Princess - E.D Baker


  2. hmm. try the house of night series by p.c. cast. its another vampire series, but its a good one. not as good as twilight of course, but still good. it deals with a high school of vampires. they deal with normal teenage drama, like any other high school, and some other problems that you don't see everyday.

    i also suggest reading books by sarah dessen. she's a great writer for teens.

    You could also try the uglies series by scott westerfield. its about a society where on a person's sixteenth birthday, they have an operation to make them "pretty" and correct any flaws they have through means of plastic surgery. it tells the tale of kids who didnt want to become "pretties". and about the secret they knew about those surgeries.


  3. I don't really read books like that,

    but I've read the hitchhikers guide books by Douglas Adams, and they are amazing.

  4. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the books are a lot better than the movies

    Any books by Sarah Dessen! She even has cameos from some of her books in another.

    Sarah Dessen:

       Just Listen - Annabel Greene is the youngest of three very different sisters.  She has had a very bad summer and must now return to school.  She has never been so lonely or so sad, yet she must face each day.  As she has her own problems to confront, her entire family is dealing with issues that plague her sister, Whitney.  By circumstance, Annabel and Owen, whose life revolves around music, become friends.  It is Owen who will help Annabel to meet certain challenges.  

       The Truth About Forever - Macy's father has recently died and she is feeling guilty.  Her mother isn't coping with his death well at all.  Macy's boyfriend, Jason, represents security, but frankly he is a clueless jerk.  It might have been a very long summer, but then by chance Macy meets an interesting group of people.  I loved everyone in the Wish Catering crew, but most especially Wes.  No matter the difficulties life has thrown each member of Wish they persevere because they must.

       Dreamland - Caitlin is the younger and she feels second-rate sister to Cass who is perfect in every way.  Now Caitlin is 16 and rather than starting at Yale, Cass has run off with a guy.  This year for Caitlin is about school, cheerleading, parties, her boyfriend, and so much much more.  Unfortunately, this novel has an important message every young lady needs to hear.

       Keeping the Moon - Colie and her mother used to be fat.  They moved frequently and were homeless for a time.  Then Colie's mother went on a "let's get healthy" kick and they both lost weight.  Now mom has a good job and they live in a nice house.  Unfortunately, because of a really mean girl at school, Colie has acquired a reputation she did not deserve.  Mom is going to Europe to work for the summer and Colie is going to spend the summer with her eccentric aunt.

       That Summer - Summers hold special memories for many of us:  vacations, beaches, picnics, summer jobs, summer loves, maybe even a wedding or two.  Haven, younger sister to Ashley, is fondly remembering a summer five years ago because in this current summer her world is falling apart.  Her father had an affair, her parents divorced, and now he is getting married to the co-worker with whom he had the affair.  Ashley is also getting married this summer and Haven doesn't understand why Ashley would choose this man.  

       Someone Like You - Halley and Scarlet, both 16 and juniors in high school, have been best friends forever.  Scarlet was always the strong one, but now she needs Halley to be there for her.  As they begin the new school year, Scarlet is pregnant and her boyfriend has been killed in a motorcycle accident.  Meanwhile Halley has problems of her own.  Halley and her mother, a psychologist, have gotten along well in the past but that has changed.  Halley's mother used to write books about their relationship, but now they just argue.

       This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college.  This is a time of transition for each of them, but the story concentrates on Remy who because her mother has had a series of husbands and Remy never even met her father, she is very cynical about love.

    Ann Brashares:

       The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - A wonderful story about Tibby, Carmen, Lena, and Bridget, four very different friends who are spending their first summer apart from one another.  Each of the girls faces her own crisis and, in the end, they are there for each other.  It's a great story of friendship.

  6. anything by

    Meg Cabot

    Stephanie Meyer

  7. i would reccommend the mediator series by meg cabot because they are amazing books. pretty little liars by sara shepard. confessions of georgia nicolson by louise rennison. they are all really good series of books.

    for stand alone books:

    saving zoe

    speak

    crank

    good girls

    pants on fire

    avalon high

    how to be popular

    hope this helped!

  8. vampire academy was is a very good serise


  9. How about Amelia Atwater's books? She writes vampire books, though her series books are about shape shifters.....

    Falcon Dance, Wolf Cry, Hawksong, and I think it was Serpent's Charm????

  10. While they aren't teen series, try Lord of the Rings and Narnia if you hadn't read them.  They're classics, and the Lord of the Rings last longer than most teen series.  Don't be daunted by their size; they really keep you hooked, even if you already saw the movies.
