If you like maeve binchy you will really enjoy this book!. You will lose yourself and become part of the story!. I just couldn't put it down!.If your looking for something lighter to read this is it!.This author has other books on a character called Tara these are also good reads!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really like the Cirque du Freak series by Darren Shan!. It's about a boy who becomes a vampire's assistant, therefore becoming a half-vampire!. There's 12 books total!.

Maximum Ride is a good series (Except for the fourth book, it doesn't really matter to the story) It's suppose to be a trilogy!.

Anything written by Scott Westerfeld (Uglies series, Peeps, So Yesterday, etc) or Neal Shusterman (Full Tilt, Everlost, Unwind, etc)
