Answer 1

There are two wonderful books I can think of off the top of my head. Both of these, I first read in my 20s, and I fell in love with them. But they would have been just as good to me when I was 13:


Anthem by Ayn Rand (This one is a short read. About a teenage boy in a futuristic society where the government is opressive and makes laws contrary to the human spirit. Very intelligent book, it will make you cry like a baby, but it doesn't have a bad ending. You can read this one online at the following link)

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (this is a short book. it's basically correspondence between two demons, a master and his fledgeling.)


Very nice to see a young person who is interested in reading.

Be well.


edit:

Couple of great movies:

The Color Purple (simultaneously heartbreakingly sad, sexy, hilariously funny, good ending. This is a Steven Spielberg movie. Has Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Rae Dawn Chong, Laurence Fishburne, Margaret Avery, Adolph Caesar).

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (not against white people; funny as hell, you will still be laughing weeks later; has Christian characters but is still realistic, still has cursing and outrageous behaviour)

I would normally only recommend these movies to adults, but I figure a 13 year old girl who is actually interested in reading, is probably mature enough to handle mature subject matter.

Answer 2

yeah, those are some good books right there. and that movie is very funny.
u should try buying a book called Ttyl. its really good becuz its all in instant messanger format from start to finish. also try the Fashion Disaster That Changed My Life. or the Cure for Crushes. or read a series book called Beacon Street Girls and another series called topeka heights. and you might wanna try reading Gossip girl books, they're really good.

Answer 3

The Perfect man is a good novel and movie. You might like Stick it, the novel So B. It, and I loved The Wedding Planner's daughter. It's a good book that's kinda short.

Answer 4

I heard "The Notebook" was a good book...I just saw the movie last night and loved it....of course, I am more into fantasy and have read all of the Harry Potter books plus Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini.

Answer 5

You'd really like Step Up!

I love the sisterhood too! I'm OBSESSED!
Can't wait for the 4th book Forever in Blue!

Answer 6

You just HAVE to read the book Hangman's Curse! Its such a good book! It is written by Frank Peretti. There is even a movie for it too! I like the movie but it isn't as good as the book but it still is really good! You'll LOVE it!

Answer 7

read the book the Uglies and the Prettys. They may seem pretty big, but they are very good. I couldn't put them down!
Movie wise, watch Pride and Prejudice, Pirates of the Carrabean, and The Lake House

Answer 8

The eddited "The Breakfast Club".. Its not new, it was made in the 80's, but its an awsome movie.. My all time fav.. and Im just almost 3 years older then you.. Its good

Answer 9

i am 13 and i loved all of those movies and books too!! more books that i liked were the gossip girl series, the book uglies and pretties, and i loved the movie step up, and just my luck was pretty good too!

Answer 10

Have you read the Judy Blume books? I always liked them growing up, but they may be too young for you. I'm not familiar with many books in your age range. Sorry!
