I really enjoyed The City of Ember (2003), The People of Sparks (2004), and The Prophet of Yonwood (2006) by Jeanne Duprau. The Prophet of Yonwood is a prequel to the other two books. These are books geared toward teens.

Roswell High (sci-fi, about aliens. much much better than it sounds. the main characters are ages 16-17) Author: Melinda Metz

Replica (sci-fi, about clones. main character starts out as twelve in the beginning of the series, is 14 at the end of the series) Author: Marylin Kaye

The Clique (this one is kind of hard to explain. It's about this clique, the most popular girls in school. this other girl, who just moved in wants to be in it. the plots vary throughout the series. it may sound weird and boring, but it's very good! the main characters are in the seventh grade, about 13) Author: Lisi Harrison

I would recommend When The Wind Blows, by James Patterson, but they're adult books. Oh, and by the way, I LOVE Maximum Ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best among the Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs is 'Son of Tarzen.' Jack,the son of Tarzan shared his father's love for apes.He was only trying to help an ape escape to Africa from his cruel trainer.However he got involved in a murder and couldn't return home.He chose to live in the jungle with the apes.Its a fascinating book.The social system among the intelligent giant apes,Korak's relationship with Miriam are all interesting stuff.Its a great coming of age book.You can get the author's e-books from project gutenberg.

Diana wynne jones writes some books based on a character called Chrestomanci.He is a nine-life enchanter.Read the books in the correct order.The best of the lot is magicians of caprona.

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary,Aerie) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. That is only the beginning.The rest of the books are about his escape to Alta,how the war between the two kingdoms is stopped etc.


Reilly's Luck by Louis L'Amour.This story starts off with a young boy, Val Darrant, being abandoned by his mother.(she tells her boyfriend to kill him).Val ends up being cared for by Will Reilly who is a gambler.Turns out to be the best gamble Reilly ever made.The first quarter of the book is about adventures that Will and Val have. They have to deal with outlaws, they fight off Indians, and they travel to Europe.Unfortunately Will is ambushed by three men and killed while Val is still a teenager. But Val has learned many important lessons from Will. The next part of the book is about Val growing up. He has some money and is able to invest the money in a couple ventures.

The story then jumps forward a couple years, and the last part of the book pulls together many of the threads. Val finally meets his mother, who is again trying to have him killed. Val kills the last two of Will's murderers. And Val financially destroys the man who hired the murderers.

The Daybreakers,Fair blows the wind,Galloway,Flint are also good books by the same author.

Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls. Skif is intelligent, good-hearted and creative enough to forage up three meals a day in a place where food is scarce and kindness almost unheard of. After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.

Hm..if you like long books you might try reading "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. There are about 6 books in the series so far, each one is at least 800 pages or so. Wonderful series.

The Book Thief and Night I own, I also own and think you should really read How Reading Changed My Life by Ann Quindlen.
