-For Teen Romance, I just read a book called Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr which was fantastic! It's about this magical race called fey's and two rulers who are fighting against eachother- the winter Queen and the summer King!. In order for the summer King to defeat the Winter Queen, he must find the Summer Queen who will help give him back more power to defeat the Winter Queen!. He then thinks it is Aisline who does not want to join him, as she has the 'sight' to see fey (they are invisible to normal humans) and has been taught that they are not trustworthy and should be avoided!. This makes a terrible problem for Aisline as he wishes to court her, and she is already in love with somebody else and does not trust them!. It's really good! (The summer king is really hot too! His breath smells like the summer breeze and he glows like the hot, melting sun!.!.!.)

Blurb on the back of the book:

Rule 3: Don’t stare at invisible faeries!.

Aislinn has always seen faeries, although they would certainly blind her if they knew of her Sight!. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world!.

Rule 2: Don’t speak to invisible faeries!.

But now faeries are stalking her!. One of them, a beautiful boy named Keenan, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer!.

Rule 1: Don’t ever attract their attention!.

Now it’s too late!. Keenan is the Summer King and has sought his queen for nine centuries!. Without her, summer itself will perish!. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost !.!.!.

-Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz!. Blurb on the back of the book:

They told him his uncle died in an accident!. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt, they said!. But when fourteen-year-old Alex finds his uncle's windshield riddled with bullet holes, he knows it was no accident!. What he doesn't know yet is that his uncle was killed while on a top-secret mission!. But he is about to, and once he does, there is no turning back!. Finding himself in the middle of terrorists, Alex must outsmart the people who want him dead!. The government has given him the technology, but only he can provide the courage!. Should he fail, every child in England will be murdered in cold blood!.

The first in the Alex Rider series by British writer Anthony Horowitz, Stormbreaker will have pulses racing from start to finish!.

-Watchers I!.D by Peter Lerangis!. Blurb on the back of the book: Nobody knows who the watchers are!. But they are around us!. They observe us!. They see the things we can't see!.!.!.

Who is Eve Hardy!? Is she the only child of a normal pair of parents!? Or is she the offspring of a bizarre experiment that has gone horrible wrong!? Eve doesn't know!. But if she doesn't find out the truth, it will destroy her!. Time is running out!.!.!.

-Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett!. Blurb on the back of the book: On a warm October night in Chicago, three deliveries were made in the same neighbourhood!. A plump tangereen moon had just risen over Lake Michigan!. The doorbell had been rung at each place, and an envelope propped outside!.!.!.The same letter went out to all three:

Dear Friend,
I would like your help in identifying a crime that is now centuries old!. This crime has wronged one of the world's greatest painters!. As those in positions of authority are not brave enough to correct this error, I have taken it upon myself to reveal the truth!. I have chosen you because of your discriminating eye, your intelligence, and your ability to think outside of convention!.!.!.Although you may never meet, the three of you will work together in ways none of us can predict!. If you show this to the authorities, you will most certainly be placing your life in danger!.!.!.

The letter was not signed, and it had no return address!.

Anyway, those are some of my favourite books!. I hope I helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Giver is an engaging mystery-like book that really makes you think!. I remember reading it for school when I was 13, and loving it!. It's about a future utopia, and how it sacrifices emotion for peace and comfort!.

I also enjoyed something called Looking for Lions, which took place around the turn of the century, and was about the daughter of missionaries living in Kenya!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I DEF!. second Speak and The Giver!. also, try "Of Mice and Men" and "Animal Farm" and "Lord of the Flies"!. A bit on the deeper side if you really try to get into them, but they are easy to read and wonderfulWww@QuestionHome@Com
