Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Looking for Alaska by John Green

"BEFORE!. Miles "Pudge" Halter is done with his safe life at home!. his whole existance has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (Francois Rabelias, poet) even more!. He heads off to the someties crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the oppisite of safe!. Because down the hall is Alaska Young!. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destrcutive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself!. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart!.

AFTER!. Nothing is ever the same!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Looking for Alaska by John Green, as previously stated, is REALLY good!. His newest book, Paper Towns, is also very good!. I started reading it today, and I can't put it down!. They are both completely realistic!. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is also very good, especially if you prefer romance!. Forewarning, there is inappropriate content, but I first read it when I was 14 and I didn't have a problem with it!. It is realistic, except for one case of time travel!. If you're willing to sacrifice that one incident then I highly recommend it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pharaoh by Jackie French!. It's a quick read, but extremely good, and is set in 3000BCE and is about a prince of Egypt and his journey to becoming King through all the complications!. It is based on a real story, and is in a time before even the pyramids were built!. And it's all true! It's amazing, and I would deffinitely recommend it! Here's some more information about it:

Prince Narmer is heir to the throne of Thinis!. Narmer has everything a young prince could want – good looks, his father’s love and respect, and the love and respect of his people!. But he is the younger son, and his older brother Hawk isn’t as helpful and subservient as he appears to be!. A visit from a well travelled trader and his assistant Nitho introduces Narmer to the Oracle, and suddenly Thinis, the largest town on the Nile, doesn’t seem like the centre of the universe to him!. When he is attacked by a crocodile, and betrayed by those closest to him, Narmer’s world closes, but as he takes his own journey across the desert, the world suddenly opens, along with the future!.

Well researched, and beautifully characterised, Pharaoh is, at its heart, a story about coming of age—about growing from youth to maturity!. It touches on all the big themes – beauty below the skin, honesty, courage, understanding, and the nature of change, both psychological and global!. That it’s set in a historically rich context makes it more fascinating!.!.!.
