Any Mario Puzo book-The Godfather, Omerta, The Sicilian, The Godfather Returns
Or if you're not a Mario Puzo fan, try the Harry Potter series or the Lord of The Rings series.

A good summer book is "The Talisman", by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Don't be put off by the size of it. When you have finished reading it you'll wish it had been longer!

State of Fear by Michael Crichton. It's fiction, but it encourages you take a second look at a lot of things, including the global warming theory. Terrific book.

All's Fair in Love, War and High School
by Janette Rallison

Girls In Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood
by Ann Brashares
Four friends embark on their third summer of adventures, beginning with their high school graduation. Tibby ponders the change in her relationship with a male friend who now wants to date her. She is devastated when her little sister is seriously injured after falling out a window that Tibby accidentally left open. Lena's plans to attend art school are disrupted when her conservative father discovers her sketching a nude male model during a summer class and refuses to pay the tuition.

Bridget goes to summer camp and is surprised to learn that her ex-fling is also a counselor.
The Truth about Forever
by Sarah Dessen
Macy, 16, witnessed her father's death, but has never figured out how to mourn. Instead, she stays in control–good grades, perfect boyfriend, always neat and tidy–and tries to fake her way to normal. Then she gets a job at Wish Catering. It is run by pregnant, forgetful Delia and staffed by her nephews, Bert and Wes, and her neighbors Kristy and Monica. "Wish" was named for Delia's late sister, the boys' mother. Working and eventually hanging out with her new friends, Macy sees what it's like to live an unprescripted lifestyle, from dealing with kitchen fires to sneaking out at night, and slowly realizes it's not so bad to be human. Wes and Macy play an ongoing game of Truth and share everything from gross-outs to what it feels like to watch someone you love die.
Family Reunion
by Caroline B. Cooney
At a family reunion, Shelley comes to terms with her parents' divorce, her mother's absence, her new stepmother, and being the "stable" member of her colorful family.
So, there they are! Five great books to choose from. Have fun reading!
