Question: Great books to read!? !?
I'm sixteen years old and looking for some great books to read!. Books that are excellent page turners that will keep you up all night!. I wouldn't really want to read about school life or girly books either!. Btw, I read the Twilight series so you don't need to name that :) Thanks! Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Crank by ellen hopkins:

Kristina Georgia Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble!. But on a trip to visit her absentee father, Kristina disappears and Bree takes her place!. Bree is the exact opposite of Kristina -- she's fearless!.

Through a boy, Bree meets the monster: crank!. And what begins as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul -- her life!.

Glass: sequel to crank

Burned by ellen hopkins:

It all started with a dream!. Nothing exceptional, just a typical fantasy about a boy, the kind of dream that most teen girls experience!. But Pattyn Von Stratten is not like most teen girls!. Raised in a religious -- yet abusive -- family, a simple dream may not be exactly a sin, but it could be the first step toward hell and eternal damnation!.

This dream is a first step for Pattyn!. But is it to hell or to a better life!? For the first time Pattyn starts asking questions!. Questions seemingly without answers -- about God, a woman's role, sex, love -- mostly love!. What is it!? Where is it!? Will she ever experience it!? Is she deserving of it!?

It's with a real boy that Pattyn gets into real trouble!. After Pattyn's father catches her in a compromising position, events spiral out of control until Pattyn ends up suspended from school and sent to live with an aunt she doesn't know!.

Pattyn is supposed to find salvation and redemption during her exile to the wilds of rural Nevada!. Yet what she finds instead is love and acceptance!. And for the first time she feels worthy of both -- until she realizes her old demons will not let her go!. Pattyn begins down a path that will lead her to a hell -- a hell that may not be the one she learned about in sacrament meetings, but it is hell all the same!.

In this riveting and masterful novel told in verse, Ellen Hopkins takes readers on an emotional roller-coaster ride!. From the highs of true love to the lows of abuse, Pattyn's story will have readers engrossed until the very last word!.

Impulse by ellen hopkins:

Sometimes you don't wake up!. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same!.


Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act -- suicide!.


Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade!.


Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills!.


And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life!. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself!.


In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough!. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun -- and tried to end it all!. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other's help, they can find their way to a better life -- but only if they're strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place!.

Identical by ellen hopkins:


Do twins begin in the womb!?
Or in a better place!?

Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical down to the dimple!. As daughters of a district-court judge father and a politician mother, they are an all-American family -- on the surface!. Behind the facade each sister has her own dark secret, and that's where their differences begin!.

For Kaeleigh, she's the misplaced focus of Daddy's love, intended for a mother whose presence on the campaign trail means absence at home!. All that Raeanne sees is Daddy playing a game of favorites -- and she is losing!. If she has to lose, she will do it on her own terms, so she chooses drugs, alcohol, and sex!.

Secrets like the ones the twins are harboring are not meant to be kept -- from each other or anyone else!. Pretty soon it's obvious that neither sister can handle it alone, and one sister must step up to save the other, but the question is -- who!?
