Question: Hi, can anybody suggest a couple really good books for a 16 yr old to read over the summer!? Thanks!!?
I love reading new books especially ones that you start and never want to put down =)
My favorite types of books are tear-jerkers, non-fiction, or basically anything which holds a deeper meaning within!. I also enjoy reading and learning about the supernatural ( Medium books and such!.) I'm into books that are told by teenagers because it's fun to be able to relate myself to the characters, but I'm kinda looking for something with a deeper meaning than Catcher In The Rye!. Some of my favorites are!.!.!.!.

-The Harry Potter Series
(The lessons and relationships not the fiction and adventure)
-Sylvia Brown Collection
-Flowers For Algernon
-The Notebook
-The Orphan Of Ellis Island
-Night
-To Kill A Mockingbird
-Searching for David's Heart
-Chicken Soup
-That Takes Ovaries
-Go Ask Alice
-Driver's ED
-The Lovely Bones
- etc

I've found some books that sound good like:
-Dont Die, My Love &
-I Miss You, I Miss You

But it would be great to get other opinions!. Thanks again!Www@QuestionHome@Com
