Answer 1

Here are some great books by some awesome authors and some authors are listed.

Answer 3

When I was your age, I really enjoyed the Hardy Boys series. But, although Franklin W. Dixon is said to be the author of every Hardy Boys book, there is actually no such writer. "There never has been. For that matter, neither was there ever a Carolyn Keene, nor a Victor Appleton. These are all pen names for a group of writers established by a man named Edward Stratemeyer. "

Also, I read Sigrid Lavransdottir, by Sigrid Undset, Isaac Asimove who wrote many science fiction, science and math. His Foundation Trilogy is smashing! I read many books on native americans, american history, and science. Go ask your librarian, and tell her what are your interests. There are many good writers, but you need to find whom are right for you, based on what you like. This depends on who you are.

Answer 4

It depends on what you like. You may want to check out authors like Meg Cabot, Matt Christopher, or any of the clique books (a-list series). If you are into sci-fi Orson Scott Card is a good place to start. Adventure: Gary Paulson, S.E. Hinton. Those are just a few.

Answer 5

Khaled Hosseini is absolutely brilliant...his writing is realistic and haunting....I've read THE KITE RUNNER by him, and I love it so much....beware, that it is very realistic so not everything in there is "happily ever after"....if you like books that are real, pick up Khaled Hosseini's THE KITE RUNNER....

Adeline Yen Mah is also really good...I have read both of her autobiographies, Chinese Cinderella and Falling Leaves....Chinese Cinderella is no doubt my favorite book...it uses simple language, and the story will touch your heart and bring you to tears...I read it when I was 10, almost 11, and I am sure you will enjoy it too =)

Dave Pelzer is an author that I consider one of the best as well....i read his autobiography MY STORY...his words were simple, and it tells you about his life...how he was abused but also how he made it through and triumphed greatly....he uses his experiences to help others....i definitely recommend his writings as well =))

Answer 6

JK Rowling (the Harry Potter series are awesome, it doesn't matter how old are you)
Elizabeth Gaskell (if you're looking for something more historial and a bit mature. She wrote novels in the 1850's)
Dan Brown (What can I say? He writes good books! Remember it's fiction)
Oscar Wilde (I love him. His stories are awesome, all of them)
Jane Austen
Anne Rice (well, I think you're maybe a bit too young for Anne Rice but if you've read Poe you can read her books with no problem)

Answer 7

have u read harry potter, they r very good books and can keep u entertained forever, i was easily obsessed, can answer any question about the series.
dont read steven king if u r going to be 12, he rites scary stuff, u wont like that for a while.

Answer 8

R.A. Salvatore is a great writer if you dig sword and scorcery. If you dont dig it, read some of his stuff and you will. I recomend the " Icewind Dale" trilogy. Its a great starting point to get aquainted with the forgotten realms setting.

Answer 9

If you like reading fiction books that have to do with lawyers and the law you might enjoy John Grisham- he's my fave author.

Answer 10

Sharon M. Draper. Is a really good author.
