Does anyone know of some good books for teens??? but...?

Question

Like i said before...does anyone know of some good books for teens, but dont say any of the gossip girls, clique, or harry potter series. it doesnt have to be a series either...just a really good book. if you can, could ya tell me why the book was soo good? thanks.

and by the way, i have nothing against those series, ive just already read them all!!!

they dont have to be considered teen books either, just a general all around good book!! and yes ik, ive added a lot of detail!! lol. im just like that,

Answer 1

I also want to recommend Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Since someone already bothered to give their *why* as to what they were about and why they were so good. I'll skip that :)

I also recommend I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter. The book is 'good' because it is just too much fun. A young teen (15-16?) attends an elite private school--a secret school for spies. She knows fourteen languages and multiple ways to disarm and kill an enemy but she is absolutely clueless when it comes to being a "normal" teen girl having her first crush on a boy. Clueless when it comes to dating, her adventures and misadventures are just fun for the reader.

Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. Set several centuries in the future, the books feature Tally and her friends as they explore the true cost of beauty in an obsessed society where surgery isn't just an option but mandatory.

The Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison. Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging is the first book in the series. As to why they're good. They're very funny :)

Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite writers. If you haven't read any of her books I would recommend you pick one and go from there. My personal favorite is The Truth About Forever. But they're all good. Her characters are very well-developed and "real" and the romance is just great. Because the characters are 'real' people the romance feels 'real' too. Nothing fake and shallow that could be transplanted from one book to another.

Answer 2

Oh goodness where to begin. Anything by Sarah Dessen. She's amazing. Ditto Jenny Carroll. Bad Kitty, by Michelle Jaffe. The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. Kite Runner. The Maximum Ride series. The "Once upon a time" series, including The Storyteller's Daughter, Beauty Sleep, and Snow. Most of those books have similar looking binding, so once you find one you'll know what the rest look like.

If you're into science fiction, Tamora Pierce is a good bet. Although sometimes her books are a tad on the childish side, they're easy reads. And I like Douglas Adams and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, but...they're very strange.

Hope I could help!

Answer 8

two good books to read are Twilight and New Moon written by Stephenie Meyer. It is a story about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. Very, very, very good books. Here is what the summery of Twilight

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger.

For New Moon

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning...

Answer 9

"Le Grand Meaulnes" by Alain-Fournier. Beautiful and melancholy and best read while in your teens.

The Westmark trilogy by Lloyd Alexander. Violent, funny, sad and marvellous all at once.

"Crime and Punishment" and everything else by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Uplifting and interesting. Makes you think.

"Whirligig" by Paul Fleischman. Great characters, great story.

"Tristan" by Gottfried Von Strassburg. Shows the problems that come with blind romantic love.

Anything by Charles Dickens. Fascinating characters and achingly beautiful description. Everyone needs to read at least a little Dickens.

"The Big Sleep" and all others by Raymond Chandler. Gritty but, ultimately, with a sense of morality you don't find in too many other places. "Down these mean streets a man must go who is no himself mean." Words to live by.

"The Homeward Bounders" and the Dalemark Quartet by Diana Wynne-Jones. Mostly fun. The characters, plot and settings are all great.

"Ghosts" and all other by Henrik Ibsen. Can you say angst? So overly melodramatic it makes you laugh. or sob, depending on your bent.

Hope this helps!

Answer 10

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. The Gossip girls are backstabbing sluts, the clique girls are also B.Ss and Harry Potter is a old news.
