Have you read "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" or "Mirror, Mirror" both Gregory Maguire books, a really really excellent book is "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" written by Stephen Chbosky it's an amazing book I believe everyone should read it. Umm "Year of Wonders" written by Geraldine Brooks.
Here's a list of other great books
The Colour Purple- Alice Walker
Fallen Angels- Walter Dean Myers
The Outsiders- S.E. Hinton
Smack- Melvin Burgess
Staying Fat for Sarah Burns- Chris Crutcher
Catalyst- Laurie Halse Anderson
Speak- Laurie Halse Anderson
Flowers for Algernon- Daniel Keyes
Stargirl- Jerry Spenelli
Red Scarf Girl- Ji-li Jiang
The Chronicles of Narnia Series- C.S. Lewis
Memoirs of a Geisha- Arthur Golden
Series of Unfortunate Events- Lemony Snicket
Big Fish- Daniel Wallace
and of course The Da Vinci Code- Dan Brown
happy reading

Sounds like you really like Witch books. I loved Wicked. There is The Game,? Anyhow, my personal faves are anything Ann Rule or Stephen King. I read Bag of Bones (Stepehn King) when I was 15 and actually named my daughter after the little girl in the book...yeh i know I was told that is freakin creepy! Anyway, good luck on finding your books. (oh and if you like chick books-jennifer weiners books are good)

Try Cara Lockwood. She is my favorite. Her new book (forget the title) might be something you'd like based on the names of the ones you already like.
Her older books, you might not get because you're a little young. She refrerences to the Karate Kid and 80's culture in one book. Getting fired from a job in another. Getting married and divorced in a couple of other books.

Judy Blume, Sharon Creech, and S.E. Hinton are all excellent authors. My personal favorite book is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. You should read it if you haven't already.

I swear the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is the best series I have ever read.

The book "Emma" is considered, even by modern authors, to be possibly the best work ever written. It is by Jane Austin.

Killing Mr. Griffith is an amazing book. i thought i wouldn't like it because it was scary but it's really good. also, books by Mary Higgins Clark are really good. i recomend mysteries for the summer because suspension is great for keeping you occupied.
