I am a teen and I've enjoyed many books, but the best ones I've read were:
Tithe by Holly Black
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
and of course...
the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
TITHE---Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms -- a struggle that could very well mean her death.
UGLIES---Tally Youngblood has been brought up in a world where people are considered ugly after age 12, when they are sent to live in Uglyville. Everyone is given an operation to become pretty at age 16. Tally is almost 16 and can hardly wait to get her operation, but she makes a new friend who feels differently. While it seems a minor problem, it evolves into something much bigger. Suddenly Tally questions everything she has ever believed in. And now the only thing that seems important to her is the horrible truth she has learned about becoming pretty.
***The summaries of the books may sound boring, but they are really both great! The Tithe book has a sequel comming out soon, the name is Ironside. And In the Uglies Trilogy, there is also Pretties and Specials.***

Hmm...I loved Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer-they're both extremely good! Tamora Pierce is also a good author; her books are really good fantasy books, but some characters are a little Mary-Sue-ish. Diane Duane is also a good author-her books are just amazing, especially her Young Wizards Series. Holly Black is also a good author-her book Tithe is very cool too, a bit fantasy-ish, but cool. Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan is also a good fantasy book. (Sorry, I'm a big fantasy geek...oh well :))Erm...that's all I've got right now. Happy reading!

When I was a teenager, I loved the Madelaine L'Engle books, "A Wrinkle In Time", "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" etc. They are very intriguing books and I can't wait for my son to someday read them.

I enjoyed "The Shell house" by Linda Newbery.
Deals with (among other things) search for personal identity.
Beautifully observed.
