here are some books i've read recently that i thought were good:
love and other four letter words
guitar girl
carolina autumn
kissing vanessa
sloppy firsts was okay
monster
i am the cheese was okay, it makes a lot more sense after you read the ending...if you like different books you might like that one
watching alice (there's a series)
the california diaries were pretty good (that's a series too)
confessions of an eight grade basket case was pretty good too
i'm not sure who all of them are by-you can use the link in my profile to e-mail any questions if you have them.
also to kill a mockingbird is a spectacular book- by harper lee
sorry, another edit--- spinning through the universe in room 214 is an awesome book- it's a poetry collection from all these kids in one classroom, it was really really good too.

The Eva Ibbotson ones are solid for love, incredibly a organization of Swans, the secret Countess and A song For summer season. i admire the best buddy's international sequence by utilising Karen McCombie and her 'An pressing Message of Wowness-, the secrets and strategies at St Jude's ones by utilising Carmen Reid (they are new so there is largely 2 out so some distance, New woman and Jealous woman- no longer completely inspiring titles yet humorous besides), and the Angus, Thongs and proper Snogging ones because of the fact they are hilarious, My Sister's Keeper, The Time-tourist's spouse, Confessions of a Shopaholic, the Harry Potter sequence, Ruby purple by utilising Linzi Glass, Sophie Dahl fidgeting with the Grown-Ups, 2nd famous guy or woman to the properly suited by utilising Deborah Hautzig, Falling by utilising Sharon Dogar, Solace of the line / lavatory toddler / A rapid organic Cry by utilising Siobhan Dowd :)

I'll recommend the teenage books first.
Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?
Reilly's Luck by Louis L'Amour.Its a western.A young boy is abandoned by his own mother(she tells her boyfriend to kill him)The boy ends up with a gambler and he brings him up.Turns out to be the best gamble he ever made.The boy grows up and later kills the people who murdered the gambler.The Daybreakers,Fair blows the wind,Galloway are also good books by the same author.
Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls. Skif is intelligent, good-hearted and creative enough to forage up three meals a day in a place where food is scarce and kindness almost unheard of. After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.
Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.
Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Mars novels and the tarzan novels.There are 11 novels in the mars series beginning with 'a princess of mars'.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for 1000 years.
Now the books for kids
The R-mystery series by Enid Blyton beginning with Rockingdown mystery.Its starts when Roger and Diana have to spend the summer with their orphan prankster cousin Snubby and his idiotic dog Loony,Soon they meet Barney a circus boy and his monkey Miranda.They investigate the nearby Rockingdown manor when they hear strange noises from it.Also their tutor is a bit suspecious.
Secret Island by Enid Blyton.Kids run away to a secret island from their cruel relatives.The adventure series beginning with 'Island of Adventure' is good.Check out other famous books by the author at http://www.geocities.com/avitallly/blyton.html.(Avoid the secret seven series.They are very boring)
Diana wynne jones writes some books based on a character called Chrestomanci.He is a nine-life enchanter.Read the books in the correct order.The magicians of Caprona is the best of the lot even though Chrestomanci is in a minor role there.Its sort of like Romeo and Juliet with the rival families being wizards.And no, its not a tragedy.The lovers in this story are quite sneaky.And the story is actually about Tonino Montana a member of the Montana family.

S.E. Hinton has some great teenage books:
The Outsiders, Rumblefish, Tex, Taming the Star Runner
Read them all back in the day and they were very entertaining to read. My 9 year old is now reading them and is loving them as much as I did.
