Any one of the Harry Potter books should do.
If you want classics, try The Count of Monte Cristo or The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.
Sci-Fi and funny...Try the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Addams (plus if you need more to read, its a 4 book trilogy)

PS...its on here alot, but I wouldn't recommend Catcher in the Rye at al, but especially not until late High School

Vince Lombardi book, 160 Pages. Will give you about all the knowledge and quotes you need to guide you through life.

"If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm."

"You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn't mean a thing. That's for the fans. You've got to win the war with the man in front of you. You've got to get your man."

"Success is like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible. Most important, you must pay the price to stay there."

"Confidence is contagious and so is lack of confidence, and a customer will recognize both."

"Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it-his mind, his body and his heart-what is life worth to him? If I were a salesman, I would make this commitment to my company, to the product and most of all, to myself."

"In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail."

"They may not love you at the time, but they will later."

"Having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it."

"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender."

"Winning is not a sometime thing: it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do the right thing once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing."

"It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you've got to have is faith and discipline when you're not yet a winner."

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious."

In a race only one person can win. So we do not run to be in the race, we run to win.

Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld is a good book for really easy reading... or you could read Avalon High by Meg Cabot which is also really easy reading. They're both more than 215 pages and a lot of girls your age like them.

I loved the "Boxcar Children" series when I was growing up. Don't know if they'd be available in your library- maybe through inter-library loans. Check it out... lot of fun to read.
Rascal, Charlotte's Web and A Day no Pigs Would Die are also great!

Have a great day!!!
