Answer 5

I Like The Eragon Series (Inheritance Cycle)

Its about this 16 year old fram boy finding a dragon egg and the king who rules them wants it back and an adventure starts if your going to watch the movie dont it completely ruins the good parts of the book.

Answer 6

Anything by stephenie meyer is good.

She's 100% new.

She only has like 3 books.

I reccomend reading

Twilight - Stephenie Meyer

( that includes all 4 books which are Twilight, New moon, Eclipse, And Breaking Dawn)

and you should try

The Host - Stephenie Meyer

i just started reading the host, so i cant say much about that. but

Twilight is kind of like a love story. Where a vampire and human fall in love. But theres so many complications to their relationship. Its a really good book because the Excitment never stops.

Answer 7

Anything by Meg Cabot is sure to be awesome if you like the romance books - they're always well written, laugh out loud funny, and generally a fantastic read.

Good murder mystery authors are the following:

Jeffery Deaver (not for those who are likely to get grossed out easily)

Candice Robb (set in historic times)

The Dragonlance series by Margret Weis and Tracy Hickman is a brilliant fantasy series.

good luck on your book hunt!

Answer 8

Lisi Harrison collection.

I loooove her books.

But im just a teen, and in skule, and also like to be bossy sometimes.

Its about these girls in seventh grade. They are a clique. You have to be PERFECT to get in. Its about six, er seven girls i think.

Its really good. I loove reading them.

Other than that anything romantic. Where two people like each other, and they want it to work out. Then in the end it always does!

:D

Answer 13

the one book that i have read that have truly enjoyed is "GO ASK ALICE" its like a diary of a girl in high school going through a drug addiction and overcoming it. i am told that for many kids that dont like to read, that cant stop reading it.  

Answer 14

Well I started by getting crazy with the 3 musketeers so I followed the subsequent books which i found funny and informative (a little of history) then I liked more of the same genre like "Les Pardaillan" Which tells the adventures of a Father who lately finds his unknown son and "Rocambole" . All of this have a main charecter who is very intelligent, shows appropiate manners and gives good advice. If you like romanticism period stories where swords are always playing here it is!
