I read a very interesting book when I was around that age!. It is called, "How Not to Spend Your Senior Year!." Very amusing and an easy read! It's by Cameron Dokey!. I've included a short review with no spoilers!.

A young girl and her father are constantly moving!. Late at night he receives a phone call and then they pack up and leave!. She never questioned it until her senior year when she made friends!. This time, when the call comes, she refuses to move and her father reveals to her the reason for their constant moving!. This discovery gets her into a world of trouble and she must find someway to escape it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with Harry Pothead on The Secret Garden (my favorite book), Jane Austen novels, and To Kill a Mocking Bird!.

Stardust - Neil Gaiman
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books - Douglas Adams
Bartimaeus Trilogy - Jonathan Stroud (the djinni in the book is hilarious)
By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept - Paulo Coelho
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
Animal Farm - George Orwell

Fyodor Dostoevsky is a favorite author of mine, you can read his works later if now you want to do only some light-hearted reading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"What Happened to Lani Garver" - the BEST book I have, and will ever read!. No jokes, no exaggerating!. It's beautifully written by Carol Plum-Ucci!.

Oh, and are you limiting book recommendations to usual novels, or can I recommend some graphic ones (not as in content!), such as:

Chance in Hell

i'd dont get why people love the twilight series so much! i would tell you to read:
- Noughts and Crosses!. its so goooood, but its kinda sad!.
(sequel- Knife Edge, then Checkmate) by Malorie Blackman
- This is proabably kinda too young, but i still love it so much, 'A little Princess and The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett!.
- The classics, like Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird etc!.
-Follow the Rabbit Proof fence!. so good!.
i've read so many great books, i just cant think of them right now! hope that helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

twilight is the best book ever! u can re-read it how ever many times u want and(thats what ive done) and u will never get tired of it!(because i havnt yet)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No way!. The best books are "How to survive anything anywhere," "Freakonomics," and "King Leopold's Ghost!."

Books about "how to do things," and non-fiction are the best!. You never know when you might need that knowledge!Www@QuestionHome@Com
