ok..so.......i've read like the best books for 14 yr old girls.
ALL of the Tamora Pierce books. They are really good for a young girl....i think that they motivates girls to do more. Most have teen heriones as the main character. They are really inspiring and they keep you wanting more and more.......

Books by Sarah Dessen are also really good. They tell stories with some romance and life issues that girls are trying to get past.

Ann Brashares Sisterhood series is a really nice series to read.

I also love Ann Rinaldi's historical novels. They are really good, centered around history and the impact that it had or might have had on some girls at that time. Really good.

I also recommend books by Lousia May Alcott and Jane Austen........although some of austens novels may be too deep.

Have you read Philip Pullman's _His Dark Materials_ trilogy yet? It has a lot of the same elements as Narnia, including teenage characters growing up, visits to other worlds, and questions about life and responsibility. I especially recommend the first book, _Northern Lights_. The main character, a young girl named Lyra, is brilliant.

Also look into Ursula LeGuin. She's written in different styles, so if you don't like one, try another. A good place to start is the Earthsea trilogy. This one is about young wizards growing up. It's the second one, _The Tombs of Atuan_, that really got me.

Tolkien's work is magnificent. On one level, The Lord of the Rings is one of our greatest mythographers struggling with the horrors of the Holocaust. It's one of the most important pieces of modern fiction, in my opinion.

So is _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ (Douglas Adams). :-)

There are a lot of excellent women novelists from the 1800's that you might like. Finding one's place in the world is a common theme. Jane Austen and Emily Bronte are two of my favourites.

Well, there should be something in there you like. %-) Good luck in your search. And enjoy the ride.

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?

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.

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.

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.

You can get books by Edgar Rice Burroughs and Rafael Sabatini from Project Gutenberg.http://promo.net/pg/
