I love Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It is one of the best books I've ever read. One I definitely could not put down. It's about a teen, Bella Swan, who while appearing to by your average yet clumsy junior in high school...falls madly in love with a classmate who is not all that he appears to be...Edward is a vampire...but such a good vampire!

Also the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld is great. It's set in the future, and there is this "perfect" society of pretty people ruling the world, and it's up to Tally and her friends to unlock the secrets which will ultimately determine the fate of society.

Sarah Dessen is a great author. I'd definitely recommend her books.

And also Sonya Sones. She writes verse novels. Very light reading. What Your Mother Doesn't Know is one of the funniest books.

Try some of the Meg Cabot books, not just the Princess Diaries, she has others that are really good.

Uglies by Scott Westerfield, the second book is Pretties, and the last one is Specials.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

The two Maximum Ride books by James Patterson

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.

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.

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.

The best among the Tarzan novels is 'Son of Tarzen.' Jack,the son of Tarzan shared his father's love for apes.He was only trying to help an ape escape to Africa from his cruel trainer.However he got involved in a murder and couldn't return home.He chose to live in the jungle with the apes.Its a fascinating book.The social system among the intelligent giant apes,Korak's relationship with Miriam are all interesting stuff.Its a great coming of age book.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte! The language is a bit archaic, but trust me, the story is well worth wading through it. I don't think I've ever cried so much over a book in my life, and I cry just as much every time I reread it.

Angus, thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging. It is a really funny book! I also like 8 Simple rules to Dating my Teenage Daughter, but that is not aimed towards teens so much.

I love Little Women. Jo is very manly (well, for her time), they were all teens, and frankly, it's one of the best books ever written for young women. I hope you've read it, but if not, do it now!
