well you're a boy (at least, your avatar's a boy) and I have no idea what books boys might like. I agree with what everyone else was saying about Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. I suppose the Lord of the Rings. Most boys I know read action-thriller sorts of things, thing one guy is reading The Black Dahlia, it looks cool. My brother likes the House of the Scorpion, but I think that's a little immature for ninth grade. I don't know, though, if you like it, go ahead. Lord of the Rings, the Red badge of Courage, Dracula, i guess.

History as it truely was. My own life with other stories I have saved for 40 years. All tied together with a family I call WEED.
If you like true stories check my site at www.wizeoldphart.com for a preview of "MY" books. True stories of kids growing up during the 40's and 50's. Pee your pants funny with a few tears. After the first book I had so many emails from my readers that I wrote the second. THE GOOD WEEDS and THE FAMILY WEED.
Thanks, Wayne

It depends on what type of books you like.
Night by Elie Wiesl (i dont know how to spell it)
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
7 Habbits for Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey (this book may sound a little cheesy, but is seriously life-changing)

Hi, i'm a teacher and i'd like to recommend "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, which our middle schoolers are about to take up this year. This one you shouldn't miss, and once you start reading, you'll definitely get hooked. It's an easy read, has a lot of heart, deals with dilemmas too. Enjoy!

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 Wheel 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.)
Publishers Weekly said in a rare 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 said:
"This series opener...is a good choice for fans of epic-style sagas and Scottish history."
Harriet Klausner, Amazon's #1 Ranked Reviewer said:
"This terrific medieval fantasy...will elate readers for its fast-paced, action-thrilled story line starring a strong cast."

The Giver, Gathering Blue, and The Messenger by Louis Lowry. They are pretty close to the reading level, and they are really good and will open up your mind.
