Answer 4

^__^ You read Twilight too? Well, I'm guessing you've already read New Moon then, right? Here's some books you might enjoy...

Anything by Sarah Dessen:
- The Truth About Forever >>> A teenage girl is trying to cope with the death of her father, and along the way, she falls in with a family who runs a catering service. With this family, and with a very special boy, she learns just how important spontaneity and wishing, can really be.

- Just Listen >>> Very similar to "Speak," where a girl gets raped at a party, and she doesn't know who to tell. At home she gets pushed into the background, because of her anorexic sister, and slowly she falls apart, until she meets someone who can help...

- Dreamland

- This Lullaby

- Someone Like You

(I haven't read those last 3, but their sure to be good, since they're by Dessen)

Blood and Chocolate (werewolf book...haven't read it, but heard it's good)

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak >>> VERY good book. It tells the story of a German girl, living during the time of the Holocaust. The twist: it's narrated by Death

Avalon High by Meg Cabot >>> Starts out seeming like the cliche girl-next-door story, where girl moves to new school, girl meets guy, yada yada yada. But there's an interesting spin on this story, where Cabot adds some Arthurian background into the main plot.

Enthusiasm >>> The main character of this story has a best friend who's an Enthusiast: she obsesses over things, it lasts, she moves on, and the cycle repeats again and again. Her friend's latest obsessions: to find true love/novels by Jane Austen. The two obsessions combine...but will they find true love?

Err...I tried to find books you might like, since you liked Twilight. But since Twilight is really one-of-a-kind, and it's a wonderful kind of book that I see very rarely, this was kind of hard. I hope you see something you might like! ^_^

Answer 5

Louise Rennison is a very funny author, and I've never met a teenage girl that didn't like her.

Lee Weatherly wrote a really gripping (and a bit scary!) book called 'Missing Abby', which is very good.

If you like horror stuff, Darren Shan is good. Malorie Blackman is also good, and Sara Manning (though her books are only really for the over 16s).

Answer 6

The Princess Diaries series, and the Five People You Meet In Heaven

Answer 7

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 how he gets a dragon of his own,his escape to Alta,how the war between the two kingdoms is stopped etc.

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.

Artemis Fowl book series by Eoin Colfer is about teen age criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl who even plots to steal the gold from the fairies.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Mars novels and the Tarzan novels.There are 11 novels in the Mars series beginning with 'A princess of mars'.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for 1000 years.

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.

Pirates of Venus introduces Carson Napier (a somewhat more cautious hero than John Carter), who builds himself a rocketship and blasts off for Mars. (How did he get to Venus? You'll just have to read the book.) Beneath the cloud cover of Venus Carson discovers a world of sky-high trees, warring kingdoms and princesses in need of rescue.

Answer 8

Demon in my view
shattered mirror
in the forests of the night
midnight predator

these are all written by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and are about vampires too like twilight

Answer 9

I don't know why teens always ask questions like this. Any book that you can understand is a good book. You don't 'have' to read just young adult or teen books, you can read adult books that you can understand and get a faster take on information you will need later in school and in life than your peers. Go for it.

Answer 10

Any books by the author Sharon G. Flake.
