What fantasy book should I read [[really urgent]]!!!!!?????!?

Question

Ok. I read Breaking Dawn. Breaking Dawn was my original choice as to what I wanted to read, but I think it was suuuuch a big disappointment that it would be better for me to read a different book.

I have to read a fantasy/fictional book for English. Due to the fact that there is little time left (I'm afraid that if I rush my reading, it won't turn out so well), I'm looking for a book that is both age-appropriate for a 15 year old teen but is not too lengthy at the same time.

Any suggestions?

Ohhh, and I think we have to do a book report after reading it. I didn't wanna do one on Breaking Dawn, since I have such a negative view on it now. :P

Answer 1

uh, The Black Stallion Series is really good and pretty short. Walter Farley Writes them. Sarah Dessen books are also really good and intresteing i recommend, Just Listen written by Sarah Dessen.

Answer 2

city of bones

the silver kiss

blood and chocolate  

Answer 3

Goblin Quest by Jim C Hines

Have Space Suit will Travel Robert Heinlein

Another Fine Myth Robert Asprin

Burn James P Kelly

Answer 4

Definitely read "The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents" by Terry Pratchett.  It's fairly short, extremely engaging, funny, and tight.  It's a young adult book that always lands in the adult section because the big mean guy punches the mouthy little girl in the face.

Answer 5

Blood and chocolate is a great book.. love love love it..

Also theres harry potter.. first book is pretty short. or..

Bartimaeus trilogy

Artemis Fowl

Eragon

Wicked

Idelwild

Answer 6

The Dresden Files.  Start with Stormfront.  It's a kick @ss series.  

Answer 7

personally i think it would be easier to do a book report on a book you really dont like.

because if youre required to state your views on it you can easily just say all the reasons you hate it and why it sucked.

as to a book that was just as good as any book. not much you can say there.

Answer 8

Try "The Named" by Marieanne Curley (sp?) Short and a sci/fi high school drama.  Goes with "The Guardians of Time" trilogy.  

Hope this helps and good luck with your English class.

Answer 9

Maybe try something by Terry Pratchett? He's technically sci-fi, I think, but he's very good, and all his books are pretty short. He has a series called Discword that has 30 some books, and the first is The Color of Magic. I think it's about 200 pages.

Hi, you might want to try my own recently published book, entitled "The Tales of Tanglewood: The Lon Dubh Whistle".

You can download the first three chapters for free, at http://www.talesoftanglewood.com

Within the pages of the book, readers will discover Colin, a child who is fully aware of the hidden world of myth and wonder hiding within the woods just beyond his home, long kept secret by old magic. Only the fey magic which runs through his veins has enabled Colin to find what others cannot; the Tanglewood, the 'wood within the woods.

Full of odd characters and creatures of the fey, the Tanglewood is a world of magnificent folklore come to life. As Colin begins to explore the Tanglewood, he will find friendship with the ferrish Ailfrid, the elfin girl Deidre, and Doc Muffingrow, a wise druid.

Colin will also find that there is much magic in himself, as well as dangerous enemies who will not let him find solace in the wood so easily. Ailil, King of the Sprites and ruler of The Below, has laid claim to his spirit, and Colin will need the help of his friends and quite a bit of magic to save himself.

The Tanglewood is a place like no other, and Colin is a boy like no other. Throughout his adventures, he will uncover the secret of the fey blood within him, and help dispel the poisonous corruption and hidden dangers that threaten the inhabitants of the wood and the Tanglewood itself.
