  1. Chapter book?

    Does anyone call it a chapter book anymore? What grade are you in? You should add additional details so that we can recommend books suitable for your age or at least likes and dislikes.

    Whatever, I'll answer this anyway.

    I like the Harry Potter series... by J.K. Rowling. It's about wizards, you've probably heard about it.

    The twilight series about some vampires.

    Jane Eyre about an orphan girl.

    Pride and Prejudice A love story

    and so on and so on.


  2. "Flowers for Algernon" by Keyes. It's about a man named Charlie Gorden who is mentally retarded, and volunteers for an experiment designated to increase a person's IQ. The test has already worked on a mouse, named Algernon, and soon, Charlie's intelligence surpasses even that of the doctors' who performed the experiment. However, after Algernon dies prematurely of unknown causes, will Charlie's fate be the same?

  3. My favorites are a bit older than the hip stories like Twilight.

    A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle is amazing. It's about a brother, a sister, and their friend who go to another planet to save their father. It tends to sound like science fiction when I describe it, but I don't consider it sci-fi. The reading level isn't challenging or anything, but it's a beautiful novel. L'Engle's writings are amazing.

    If you read Wrinkle and like it, you could also check out the rest of her Time Quartet (which include A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and Many Waters, in that order). She's written many other novels as well. I highly recommend them.

    Another amazing book I've read in my life is Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor. The story is narrated by Cassie Logan, a young African-American girl living in racist Mississippi in the 1920s-1930s. This book was recommended to me and I blew it off. Years later I picked it up and read it. I only wish I had read it sooner, when I was first told to.

    If you like Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Taylor has a whole trilogy about the Logan family. First is Thunder, then Let the Circle Be Unbroken, followed by The Road to Memphis. The Land is a prequel to all the books, but I think it's necessary to read a few of the later ones in order to fully understand the prequel.

    There are also some little books about the Logan, including Song of the Trees and Mississippi Bridge, that are good. I haven't read them, so I'm not sure where they fit in time-wise with the Logans. My guess is right around Thunder.

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is just a masterpiece. Some people shy away from it because it's called a classic, and some people read a little of it and decide it's boring. I think it's wonderful. I'm sucked in everytime I open it.

    TKAM is about a family living in the South. There's a rape trial going on heavily influenced by race and there's a recluse that the two children of the family (Scout and Jem) and their friend (Dill) try to get out of his house. This explanation definitely doesn't do the novel justice.

    Really, it's about not taking things for their surface value, digging deeper into a person, not falling to the world's views of someone. It's about the love of a family, especially a father for his children. It's about friendship. It's about growing.

    You just have to read it.

    If you aren't intimidated by long novels about the war-torn South, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell is a winner. Fantastic novel-- long, but fantastic.

    I would also recommend The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A classic for a reason.

  4. omg i totally agree the twilight books are the best books you'll ever read!!!!!!

    also other good series are the Blue is For Nightmares series, and the uglies series

  5. Twilight (and all the other books in the series), Stephenie Meyer, It is about a beautiful vampire named Edward that falls in love with a rather average human named, Bella. Website:

    there just about the best books ever,  in the series in order they are: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn

  6. Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) by Stephanie Meyer: stephaniemeyer.com

    and of course,

    the Harry Potter series:)

    J.K. Rowling  

  7. TWILIGHT SERIES FOR SURE!!! www.stepheniemeyer.com

    ok it sounds stupid at first and all that but... its about a normal girl wo falls in love with a vampire and its amazing.

    ALso ive heard the uglies series is good too. (the uglys, the prettys, the specials, and the extras) its about how when ur sixteen u get a makeover to be pretty but its complicated  

  8. I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. It's about a guy, Ed Kennedy, who is an underage cabdriver, living in a shack with his coffee-addicted dog and hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence, until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery. That's when Ed becomes the messenger, making his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary).
