I am in 10th grade and am studying french at school for the third year. I feel I do not have a strong vocab and wish to increase it. I also want to increase my understanding. Thus, I have decided to read a fairly easy french book to help me gain vocab. However, I do not know which book I should buy? I want one that is fairly easy to read but also has a large reitoire of words to learn. Which do you reccomend?

The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Immortal sequence (Immortal has a blue gem on a necklace as the duvet instance), The Immortal Series (Evermore, Blue Moon, Shadowland.), The Chronicals of Vladimir Tod, I Am Number Four, Wicked, The Cantebury Tales. The Host by way of Stephenie Meyer was once beautiful well honestly. Stephen King, in case your mother is ok with that, however I learn them whilst I was once your age. Memoirs of a Geisha. Roald Dahl books, The Fallen Angel sequence (Fallen, Torment, Passion), A Series of Unfortunate Events. Another unusual, however powerful sequence is a three facet sequence. There's a inexperienced e-book, a pink e-book, and a blue e-book. Someone right here could understand it, but it surely has a porcelain field at the blue one, a scrap e-book at the pink one, and a jar of ashes at the inexperienced e-book. It's approximately another man or woman in every e-book discovering the object at the duvet of the e-book and bizarre matters occur to them to cause them to become aware of anything approximately their inside selves.

The Stranger by Albert Camus-- L'Etranger or something like that in French.
I don't know French myself, but it is written in a very laid back "American" style, so it is very easy to read for even beginner French students (some beginner French student I knew online once picked it up and could read most of it easily, with the help of a dictionary).

I've had some luck with French comic books, also known as Bande Dessinée or just BD. I'm reading "Blacksad" in French right now, and you might try starting with Asterix or Tintin in French. Enki Bilal also has beautiful art, but his are a little more... wordy. Many manga are also available in French, if that's more your cup of tea.
I hope this is helpful, and good luck with your French!

Dictionnaire Philosophique by Voltaire or Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon. Last mentioned also has a French version.
