What is a great and strong warm-hearted and wonderful story every teen should read?

Question

I am a Teen, I always read the Clique Series or stories about teens in High School. I want to find a good and inspiring book that isn't sad or upsetting. Something interesting, fun, and something you think all teens should read.

I know about the Clique Series. Its not very warm-hearted, but its good for a laugh and I love what happens in it. I also want to read bras and broomsticks. is that good?

Answer 1

Under the toilet by Seymour Butts.

Answer 2

For some humor, if not warm-heartedness, try "Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson" by Louise Rennison. It's truly funny, although I think I would probably recommend it to slightly older teens because some of the content is a bit racy.

Go back a few years to the Madeline L'Engle books. I especially like "A Ring of Endless Light," which is the second book in her Austin family trilogy. It is sad in parts, but it is very well written and the characters become real people to you.

Also try the Tillerman books by Cynthia Voigt, starting with "Homecoming." Four kids are left by the mother in a parking lot. They decide that in order to stay together, they must find an adult to take them in. The oldest is Dicey, who is 13, and the responsibility for the younger kids falls on her shoulders.

I also liked the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" books. They're fun, funny, sad, and inspirational.

This one is sad, but I just finished reading it and have to recommend it. It's by Wendy Mass, and it's called "A Mango-Shaped Space." It's about a 13 year old girl who sees colors associated with letters, numbers and sounds. (It's called synesthesia, and it's real, by the way.) It's a very well written book, although I cried quite a bit through it.

If you want warm-hearted and uplifting, you really should go back a hundred or more years. I have to agree with someone else about "Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery. I re-read it every couple of years. Anne is such a wonderful character that I like to visit her now and then. (In fact, I think I'll take this one with me to read in bed tonight.)

You could also try Louisa May Alcott - although "Little Women" is what she's most famous for, I actually like the sequel, "Little Men," much better. The third book, "Jo's Boys," was good until the end, when she let society's class distinctions dictate the ending. Still, if you're going to try Louisa May Alcott, a good first book is "Eight Cousins." It's one of my favorites, about a girl whose parents have died. She is being raised by her aunts and uncles, and she has eight cousins, all boys. The sequel is called "Rose in Bloom," and it's also very good.

Finally, try "The Last Unicorn," by Peter S. Beagle. Again, it has moments of sadness, but the book is worth it. It's about a unicorn who realizes that she is the last of her kind, and goes on a journey to find out what happened to the others. Along the way she meets a magician, Schmendrick, who isn't very good at his magic, and a woman named Molly, who still believes in fairytales. She discovers what happened to the other unicorns, and along the way learns about love, loss and humanity. It's a beautiful book.

Answer 3

Anne of Green Gables
Girl of the Limberlost
The Locket by Evans
The Face on the Milk Carton by Cooney
When Calls the Heart by Oke
Hail, Hail Camp Timberwood by Conford
The Blue Bottle Club
A Long Way From Chicago by Peck

Some of these books have some sadness in them, but it is hard to find warm-hearted stories without a bit of pain in them.They have happy endings though. :)

Answer 4

To me it isn't that a book avoids every sad incident, but that it always is handled with hope. I can't think of too many "inspiring" books that don't have a touch of sadness or heartache in them. But I can provide you with something 'interesting and fun'

Hit the Road by Caroline B. Cooney
What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones

My other suggestion is Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer. Even though it has a bit of sad part, it is really just so good.

Answer 5

It might sound a little cerebral, but Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a phenomenally good read. I read for the first time in high school, but I find something new and interesting in it every time I pick it up.

For being a "classic," it's a very easy read. It's a love story, with a spunky heroine who is easy to admire. The mother and younger sisters are quite funny.

It's an all-around great story, with an ending that will have you grinning for hours.

Answer 6

the extraordinary situation is that i replaced into observing this action picture a pair of female who committed suicide final night. besides in the beginning i wanna say i'm sorry on your loss and it ought to've been hell for u to form this yet i wanna say which you're a good individual for doing this. maximum persons do no longer have faith existence is priceless. it relatively is too short and no count how complicated existence gets, there is often somebody available that loves you and cares for u. regardless of if we are too blind to make certain it and get rid of our existence on an analogous time as somebody available is scuffling with for his or her existence. it relatively is particularly unhappy :/ yet with a bit of luck your bestfriend is observing over u and found out his mistake and dont say there is not any factor because of the fact good now there is over one hundred those that are interpreting this and that they experience like crap as though existence sucks and who is familiar with you lightened up their temper. So thank you for posting this and remember interior the top, each and every thing is wise. carry on And take care :) R.I.P Ryan

Answer 7

Drowning Anna, by Sue Mayfield. The difficulty of reading is quite low, but the meaning behind the story touched me. It's something every girl should read.
