Books by Anne Rinaldi are pretty good!. They're historical books and though there's not a bunch of romance there's a ton of drama!. I guess I'd also suggest the Dear America books!. I'm sorry if I'm not much help but it seems like the book types you like I despise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sold - By Patricia McCormick!. True story of 13- year- old Lakshmi, whose father sold her into prostitution in her native nepal ; heartbreaking and powerfully told story

and!.!.!.

A Child Called It - By Dave Pelzer!. Memoir of surviving brutality and torture by his own mother!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try The Luxe and its sequel Rumours, by Anna Godbersten, they set it 1899 New York, and center on the lives of young, wealthy teenagers!. Fantastic historical fiction, with some romance and intrigue thrown in as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maximum Ride by James Patterson-

If you read Angels&Demons you should read the DeVinci Code!. The book's main character is Robert Langdon!. He teams up with Agent Sophie Neveu to solve her grandfather's strange murder and use clues to find the Holy Grail which is not what it seems in this book! The catch is the French athorites believe Robert killed the man!
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot!. Really great books!. They are about a girl who can see ghosts and helps them move on to there next life!. A problem occors when she falls in love with the ghost of her old house, who, of course, is dead, and she is, well, not!
I know you said no Twilight but I feel the need to add that if you have not read them they are exceptional!. There is a reason they knocked HP off the best seller list and everyone asks questions about them!Www@QuestionHome@Com
