Question

What are some good books for a 9th grader that could be finished in a week or two?

Answer 1

If you are into fantasy, then you could read the Cleric Quintet by R. A. Salvatore.  That's an awesome book series, even though I never finished the fifth book.  Going to have to break it out and finish it one of these days.

Answer 2

A fascinating biography that you could finish in a week is "Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the inspiring, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method two hundred years before the Europeans learned of it—by reading his books. The author just received the Theodor S. Geisel Award for the best book published by a San Diego County author last year. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/ Enjoy!

Answer 9

why don't you get a book that you read in the 8th grade.. that's what i did when i was in the 9th grade, because a lot of the books they have in the 8th grade they have in the 9th grade...but usually if you get a book you really love, you can read it in like a week or 2
