Try these authors then: Dennis McKiernan, David Drake, David Weber, the late David Gemmel, John Ringo, Eric Flint, Trudi Canavan, Jane Lindskold, Mercedes Lackey, Ursula K. LeGuin, Andre Norton, Raymond Feist, James Doss, John Dunning, J.A.Jance, Iris Johannsen, Matthew Reilly, James Rollins, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Douglas Preston as a single writer, Ted Bell, Chris Kuzneski, new writer excellent work. These should get you started. You are about the same age I was when I started reading these genres. I have read to date well over 565,000 books of all types of genres, but mostly sci-fi/fantasy, mystery, adventure/thriller. Enjoy and Happy Reading!

Also try some of the links below for reviews of teen books. (And by the way, the earlier answerer couldn't possibly have read that many books - that's 3 books a day for 516 years.)

My daughter (she's 12) really liked Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini. Inkheart and Inkspell, sorry I can't remember the author. A Series of Unfortunate Events, Narnia, The Edge Chronicles.

Harry Potter I have read all the books and they are great.They take you out of this world to a fantasy world with wizards and tons of magic.It may seem like a kids book but they are really great books.

JULIAN MAY. Author of "The Many Colored Land" and its numerous sequels.
It is the first instalment of the most wonderful, exciting and remorselessly detailed yet dynamic and plot-driven series of science fiction novels I have ever read.
After reading Julian May's novels, I have found it impossible to read another science fiction book again and truly enjoy it. May really is the final word in satisfying science fiction.
Do yourself a favour; read her very first, The Many Coloured Land. You will not regret it.

Try Sandra Brown's "The Chill Factor". It is probably the best book I have read in the last year. It is pretty intense but if I had a 13 yr. old I would think it would be OK for her to read. Do try it!

I really like Scott Westerfeld's books: Uglies, Pretties, Specials. They are about a society that lets all 16 year olds get plastic surgery so everyone is pretty.
