I remember this really good book I read in like 7th grade...it's called "Searching for David's Heart" by Cherie Bennett. I think it's actually a movie now and was aired on ABC Family. It's just the best book you will ever read. And I really think that if you pass up the chance to read this then you're really missing out.
I also loved "Where the red fern grows" by Wilson Rawls. Its a book about a boy who wants 2 coon dogs, but his parents are poor. He finds an ad in the paper for two pups for 50 bucks. He works for 2 years and saves up the money. He travels out into the city to get his pups. He trains em and they become the best coon huntin dogs. In the end, the pups died( lil ann, the girl, died because she couldnt live w/o old dan) and old dan died after he had a fight with another animal. Where they were burried, a red fern grew. Its really a sad story of never giving up. I loved it a lot.

As far as fantasy goes, I really enjoyed Harry Potter by JK Rowling and A Great and Terrible Beauty & Rebel Angels by Libba Bray (her third in that series is supposed to come out this year). The Wrinkle in Time series by Madeleine L'Engle are great reads, but a little sci-fi (I actually think they're classed in the sci-fi genre, but I think they're more fantasy type). For others, I really like classics so anything by Jane Austen (Sense & Sensibility and Northanger Abbey are my favourites), The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, and Peter Pan by JM Barrie. I also really liked Angels and Demons & The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, Idlewild by Nick Sagan, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, and Postcards from No Man's Land by Aidan Chambers. Hope that's enough for you to look at :o)

Fantasy is your fave huh? Well then you should really consider the Icewind Dale trilogy by R.A. Salvatore it was one of my favorites and from there just work your way through the rest of his books. They are all basically about the same group of characters and are very good. Also the Dragonlance books are awesome and there are like 70 of them or something so you will not run out of things to read for a long time.

Here's a bunch of my favourites! Sorry they're mostly all series', fantasy tends to do that!
- The Fionavar Tapestry (series of 5 books, starts with The Summer Tree) by Guy Gavriel Kay
-Women of the Otherworld (series of currently 5 books, starts with Bitten - the best so far) by Kelley Armstrong
- Shadow's Gate (series of 3 books, starts with Ghostlight) by Marion Zimmer Bradley
- Dark Visions or Vampire Diaries trilogies by LJ Smith (these are young adult, but I still enjoy them)
- Elemental Masters (series of currently 5 books, starts with The Fire Rose - all based on fairy tales) by Mercedes Lackey
Also, I enjoy Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series and Merry Gentry series - but be warned, they get sexually explicit fast!

My absolute favorite book is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by J. K. Rowling, and I adore the rest of the series as well.
A great new fantasy I recently read is "Reiffen's Choice" by S. C. Butler.
"The Princess Academy" by Shannon Hale is wonderful, as is "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman.
If you like vampire stories, I would recommend "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, or "The Silver Kiss" by Annette Curtis Klause. If you like werewolves, "Blood and Chocolate," also by Annette Curtis Klause, is very good.
The "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman is amazing, the titles of the three books being "The Golden Compass," "The Subtle Knife" and "The Amber Spyglass."

Sorry, I don't read fantasy. But I LOVE Ann Rule! She is the best true crime writer ever! My favorite? If I had to choose, it would be "The Stranger Beside Me", the story of Ted Bundy, This is a great story because Ann actually knew Ted. She has a way of telling this story that no one else can.
