Question: What are some good books for a 13 year old girl!?
I already read part of the Twilight series and loved it!. I like horror, romantic comedy, and some fantasy!. I loved the book Speak, but I don't know what catagory that falls into!. Drama!? Any suggestions for books!? I read like CRAZY and I cannot get Breaking Dawn for like another week, so I need a distraction! And other good books for when I finish it! Or just BOOKS!!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The book Uglies by Scott Westerfield by far was the best book I have ever read!. It's about a girl named Tally who lives in a futuristic world where anything less than perfect is plain ugly!. At age 16, everyone gets an operation to turn them into a 'pretty'!. However, there is a band of rebels that fights against the operation!. Tally is sent after them by the city but she then realizes that maybe the rebels do have a point!. It's a story of morality and decisions!. I loved the whole saga, which includes the sequels, Pretties, Specials, and Extras!.

If you think that book isn't for you, try these ones:

Have you ever read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown!? Likewise, try Deception Point by the same author!. These are both more challenging for the average thirteen year old and fall under the alternate universe genre!.

The Host by Stephanie Meyer was really good too!. I liked the plot better than Twilight's!. It's much more intellectual because it made you think a lot more!.

Thrill Ride by Rachel Hawthorne was very cute!. I loved every minute of it! It`s about a girl who gets a job at an amusement park away from her boyfriend and meets a new guy!. By doing so, she realizes her boyfriend isn`t all that and manages to overcome her fear of heights!.

The Giver by Lois Lowry is pretty cool!. It explores a utopia (or dystopia) depending on how you look at it!. It's sequels Gathering Blue and Messenger also work!. You don't need to read the in any order!.

The Chloe and Levesque Series and The Mike and Riel series were the books my friends and I were reading in the eighth and seventh grade!. They're a collection of mysteries all solved by Chloe and Mike!. I love them because they're so suspenseful and I almost never manage to figure out the culprit until the very end when they finally tell me!.

The Prophecy of the Stones was originally written when the author, Flavia Bujor when she was just fifteen! Likewise, The Outsiders (even though you've probably read it) was written by a fifteen year old, S!.E!. Hinton as well!. The plot and writing was well done!.

Shanbanu and it's two sequels by Suzanne Fisher Staples were amazing!. The first one is not a romance novel but I suggest you read it anyways!. The next two are more loved based and they were all sad!. I loved them!. They gave me a new perspective of life, you know!?

The Dating Game by Natalie Standiford!. It's one of those fun books where you learn nothing but is really exciting!.

Anything by Meg Cabot would work!. Most of her books are heavy on the romance side!. There's the Princess Diaries series (I've read those since the fifth grade, and I'm still reading them as they come out)!. also, Queen of Babble was really good and funny!. There's also Size 12 is Not Fat, Size 14 Is Not Fat, and Big Boned which are all in a series!. However, in that series, Big Boned is the only love story in there!.

There's also the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor that follows a girl named Alice from third to tenth grade (where the last book left off)!. You feel like you're her friend as you can see the way she grows up without a mother and learns new things about life, friendship, and of course, boys!. There's many subplots such as homosexuality (her friend, not her) and child molestation!.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is very dark and cryptic!. It should be something everyone should read despite the questionable content!. It's about a girl who goes to a high school party in the eighth grade and gets raped by a older boy!. She calls the cops but doesn't tell them it was her who called or why so no one else knows what happens either!. Because she called the cops, the students in high school all hate her because of her phone call!. This is a great book about self realization!.

The Face on the Milk Carton and its sequels are fantastic!. About a girl named Jamie who realizes that she is adopted, she struggles with whether or not she fits in with her biological family or with the family she has been raised with for all this time!.

After that, there's the obvious classics:
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is my favourite out of all of them!. It's really well written and I liked the aspect of thinking that Jane has!. Even though Rochester does seem like a perve sometimes!.!.!.!. it's a good read nevertheless!.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is very good as well!. Personally, I wouldn't put it up with Jane Eyre though: that's just me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My favourite book is Go Ask Alice!. It's a really good book and it changed my life! It is actually a diary of a 14/15 year old girl who suffers from the facts of life for teenagers like weight, dating and school issues!.She gets pulled into a world of drugs and ends up having a tough time dealing with it!. I'll recommend it to any teenager!. Another good is 'Are You There, God!. It's Me, Margaret' which deals with periods, first bras, boys and a lot of other good stuff to know about!. It's by Judy Blume and it's another book I couldn't put down!.
