Question: Name a few great books for teens!?
I'm going camping next week, which is super boring, and I plan on buying a few books but I don't know what to get!. I absolutely loove the Twilight series, so something cute and romantic like that, but it doesn't have to be about vampires!. I also really like horror and mystery stories!. Any suggestions!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Here are some of my favorites:
Neil Gaiman is an amazing author! Any of his books are good!.
Edgar Allen Poe is a really good author!. Check out his poems and short stories!.
William Shakespeare is good too!.
Any books by Scott Westernfeld or Neal Shusterman are really good too!.
Any books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes are amazing! There is In The Forest of The Night, Demon In My View, Shattered Mirror, Midnight Predator!. And then there is the The Kiesha'ra series: Hawksong (the best in the series!), Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyverhail!.
