Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yeah, Im thirteen too, and I read at the adult level!. Jodi Picoult is really good!. Vanished By Karen Robards!. Angela's Ashes and 'Tis by Frank McCourt were amazing!. Trust me, I know all about reading the adult books with the adults saying "YOU'RE TOO YOUNG!." We're just different from other teenagers!. While they read Gossip Girls, we read substantial literature!. =]]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oooh! Girl, you are in for a treat!

The Darkest Age series by A!.J!. Lake!.

It's Fantasy with some romance!. It also has ship wrecks, swords, a demon god called Loki (Norse Mythology), battle scenes (pretty much only in the last book, though), and magical people known as the Fay!. The romance in the book is so sweet!.

The Coming of Dragons

The Book of the Sword

The Circle of Stone

That's the order they're in!. You can also go to Amazon to read the descriptions and reviews!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love those books as well!!!!!!
If you're into fantasy I reccomend the golden hour by maiya williams!. The main characters are fourteen and they find a time travel machine in an abandoned hotel!. They end up accidentally getting stuck in France during the French revolution!. There are two other books in the series as well!.
I also enjoy anything by Jodi Piccoult Her books require a lot of depth from the reader, so even if your on a high reading level they might be a bit!.!.!.!. mature for you!. Whatever you think though you know yourself!.
Ummm the author escapes my memory right now, But a book called Dreamland was awesome!. Its realistic fantasy about teens who work at disneyworld while their adult counterparts are on strike!. Two of the characters (Cinderella and Dale, haha) struggle with their attraction because the guy already has a girlfriend who is pretty much perfect!.
also try shannon Hale!. Hers are pretty much fantasy with an old timey, medieval feel!. A few of her novels are based on old fairytales, and they are all interesting for yound adults, with lots of romance!.
East by Edith Pattou is similiar to shannon hales books!. It is based on a nordic fairytale and has a lot of adventure and romance!. You'll love it I promise!.
There are a lot more but Im sure you'll like these!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i second the house of the scorpion - really an amazing book!. other good books:

the eye the ear and the arm (also, like house of scorpion, by nancy farmer)
holes
the giver
a wrinkle in time

and, if you like reading above your age level, try out kurt vonnegut - he is a nice mixture of fantasy, romance and all other kinds of stuff!. start out with the sirens of titan - it has it all!Www@QuestionHome@Com
