You can try reading poetry, the time requirement is shorter and the formation of concepts around language and (relatively) easier words will help you to eventually put together what you read in a novel.

Go to a lower reading level. 'Uglies' by Scott Westerfield, one of my personal favorites would probably be a good start. Once you master lower reading levels, and feel like you have improved, start those novels again. Any words you don't know, find out what they mean! If you don't get the story, re-read some pages. If it's just too hard, get another book or even ask an adult for help.
Good Luck!!
