Evermore - The first book in Noel's exciting new Immortals series. Since the accident that claimed her family, 16-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people's thoughts, and know a person's entire history through one touch. She's been branded a freak at her new high school, but everything changes when Ever meets the mysterious Damen August. Bras and Broomsticks - What if all your wishes could come true? Blink your eyes, drink a fizzing pink potion, and "poof! Life is perfect. That's Rachel's situation. Except she's not the one who suddenly has magical powers. Her younger sister is. And as Rachel would tell you, spellbooks are "wasted on the young! Yes, yes, of course world peace and cures for horrible diseases are important. But so is dancing without looking like she's being electrocuted, winning back her best friend, stopping her dad's wedding, and finding a date for Spring Fling. Rachel's not bewitched. Yet. . . . The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance. But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences. I didn't expect to like the last one. I read it for school and it's amazing. One of my favorites. I love these books! Really good! :) And I've read Twilight, PLL, Notebook, Dear John, and the Last Song. :)

Title: The Night Room
Author: Im sorry I cant remember
Summary: Seven 11th graders are chosen to go through a program usually for college students;; The Night Room. The Night Room is done by you answering questions;; then that data is put into a computer;; and your lifestyle in 10 years comes up as you go through the Night Room during their 10 year highschool reunion! As they one by one go through the Night Room;; they notice one of their friends is not there. And it says she died that year (their 11th grade highschool year)! So, they try everything to try and save her//make sure nothing happens.
The book was very interesting and Im sure everyone that likes a great book will love it!
Good Luck!

The Book of the Dun Cow by Walter Wangerin Jr. It won the National Book Award and the New York Times best childrens book award. Based on an ancient Irish fable. Better written than Harry Potter (don't throw things at me 'till you've read it).

I just answered this question somewhere else ... so here's the answer again:
My recommendation would have to be "Justin Thyme" by Panama Oxridge. It's got everything: spies, time travel, memory-loss, a teenage billionaire, a computer-literate gorilla, the Loch Ness Monster and an eight-legged cat! Plus there's a 14 year-old girl in it with a real biting sense of humour! Definitely one of my favourite characters ... ever! Best of all the book's full of cryptic messages hidden in the text, and even though I finished it almost a week ago, I can't resist trying to find just one more hidden clue.
You can visit the book's official web site if you want more information and buying links.

The Epic of Gilgamesh
This book is so old no one know who "Auther" was.
GILGAMESH is the oldest work in literature. Looking for its beginning we move back five thousands years to times from which olders are almost only remains of material culture found in primitive settlements and cages, before which humankind is mute for us and stay plunged into great silence. Gilgamesh is the oldest example of recording of human thoughts. http://gilgamesh.psnc.pl/gilgamesh.htm
Here the home page; http://gilgamesh.psnc.pl/index.html Looks like a cool Web-Site. Click on the Head/Start. Next Page at bottom click Start. On the next Page you see in the center; Tablet I, just below; On Left is Video on Right is Text to read. Along the bottom you see the Tablets 1-12. This is an awesome book and one of the oldest. Read it now and be ahead of the game. You go to College, mostly likely you will hear/see this book again!

When I was your age I adored all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. They are the basis for The Little House on The Prairie TV program, but so much more. There are several in the series and I'm sure you'd love them if you like historicals. Ms. Wilder penned all the moves her family made across the west from her perspective.

Classics are always good,
like to Kill A Mockingbird- about a girl and a boy and their friend and a creepy person who lives next door.
You can read books they've made movies out of-
Ella Enchanted, The Davinci Code, etc...
Just go to your local bookstore or library and ask what some popular books are for people your age these days.

There's a new medieval fantasy series in hardcover that you might like. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you're a fan of Conan, LOTR or epic fantasy books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.
Library Journal
"This series opener...is a good choice for fans of epic-style sagas and Scottish history."
