Question: Would you reccomend a book for me!?
I am a 15 year old girl
Despite this, I read more than just romance!. (Even though that is one of my favorite types of books)
I read anything from nonfiction to fantasy, I mean anything!.

Please try and think outside the box (not books that every girl has read)
Because the majority of you will post things I have read, being that I read a book and finish it almost every day (sometimes even 2 or 3)

If you can give a small description of the book, that would help me a great deal!.

Thank you all in advance!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I would recommend: "The First Men In the Moon" by H!. G!. Wells!. It is about two astronauts who build a space ship to fly to the moon!. There they discover little men (more like aliens) living inside the moon!.
Keep in mind this book was written in 1901, and the author didn't know about the moon as much as we do now!. But it is a very creative book that I read when I was your age (but that was only a couple years ago)!.

If you don't like how they wrote books in the 1900's, then I would recommend "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini!. The story is about a farm boy named Eragon who discovers a dragon egg, and he becomes a dragon rider when the egg hatches!. He is taught by Brom, who leads him on several adventures!. This book was written by a 15 year old, and I thought it was (again) very creative and well written (I love how he describes things)!. When my cousin saw me read this book, she said that I looked totally mesmerized, and she could tell I couldn't put it down!.
I hope this helps you!

For suspense/thriller type books - anything by Greg Iles, Harlan Coban, Patricia Cornwell, and the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz

For "girly" books - anything by Jodi Picoult, the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, anything by Jennifer Weiner, and for an oldie but goodie try She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb

My absolute favorite book of all time is Travels by Michael Crichton!. It's an account of his days in medical school and then his experiences travelling all over the world!.

Have you read "Life As We Knew It" by Susan Beth Pfeffer!?


Really terrific novel of the "end of the world as we know it" via the journal of a 16 year old PA girl!.!.!.I couldn't put it down!.

Here's a review!.!.!.
A meteor is going to hit the moon, and 16-year-old Miranda, like the rest of her family and neighbors in rural Pennsylvania, intends to watch it from the comfort of a lawn chair in her yard!. But the event is not the benign impact predicted!. The moon is knocked closer to Earth, setting off a chain of horrific occurrences: tsunamis, earthquakes, and, later, volcanic eruptions that disrupt life across the planet!. Written in the form of Miranda's diary, this disquieting and involving story depicts one family's struggle to survive in a world where food, warmth, and well-being disappear in the blink of an eye!. As life goes from bad to worse, Miranda struggles to find a way to survive both mentally and physically, discovering strength in her family members and herself!.
