Try something from r.L.Stine if your looking for something scary, if your looking for mystery- Joan Lowery Nixon has that and for drama- Gossip girls, The A-list, or Sweet Valley series
Something serious but great- Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin or Phoenix Rising, sad and funny= The Alison Rules
And don't let me forget sci-Fi- Smallville series or Roswell High series

If you like comedic prose, check out anything by David Sedaris... if you rather read something more dark and literary, try Donna Tartt (2 titles, The Little Friend & The Secret History)... like sci fi? Well, I happen to love Frank Herbet who wrote Dune. Good luck, hope that helps!

How in the heck are WE supposed to know? It all depends on what you've already read, the types of books you like, the authors you like or don't like, etc., etc. As yourself what book you should read.
