1984 by George Orwell. When I was a teenager it made me see the world in a whole different light. Years later it still does.

Depends on what you like to read! The Bartlimaeus books by Jonathan Stroud are excellent if you like fantasy-- the first one is Amulet of Samarkind. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Caroline Cooney's good, too-- I liked Driver's Ed. William Sleator's Interstellar Pig. Peter Dickenson's Eva is killer-- a girl awakens to find her brain is in a chimp's body. He makes you *believe* it. It was done to save her life by doting parents but the outcome-- well, you'll have to read it.
Okay, reading what you like, I'd recommend Jonathan Stroud again as he's sort of historical fantasy, but Patricia Windsor does some really good mysteries. The Christmas Killer is really good, as is The Hero and Eyes of the Sandman. Since you liked Paulsen, you might also like Sue Henry's Murder on the Ididirod Trail-- it's a mystery set during the annual race, and the author's really done her research about sled dogs and survival. I assume you've already read the sequels to Hatchet since you liked it so much. Have you also read Island of the Blue Dolphins, Where the Red Fern Grows, and My Side of the Mountain? Driver's Ed by Caroline Cooney is about these kids out joyriding and they steal a stop sign... with terrible results. Not a mystery but it keeps you on edge.
Hope you find lots of good books you like!

I'm going to have to agree with The Firm. I read it when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I also recommend a great book I read when I was 14 called Ender's Game. I hardly ever read the same book twice and I read this one about 10 times! All through High School I was interested in autobiographies. If you want to read a good one now, I'd say read Dreams From my Father by Barack Obama.

Merchant of Venice! DUH!
Hahahahaha, just joking. (hated that book)
I think i really loved Dan Brown's books. If he/she is a teen, i'm sure they'll already understand that everything in it is nonesense and not to belive. It's very thrilling and addictive! And you learn quite some stuff about culture, sites, etc. Example, describes many historical places like the Louve (not sure how you spell), several cathedrals in Da Vinci Code.
For who is this?

The best book I've ever read is called A Great and Terrible Beauty and its sequel Rebel Angels by Libba Bray. It has romance, adventure, mystery, and its sooo hard to put down. I've lent it to at east 15 of my friends and they all loved it.

Judy Blume (Are You There God It's Me Margaret?, Forever) got me thru my teens. Lois Duncan mysteries are also good (I Know What You Did Last Summer).
The Outsiders, all the stuff you should have read in high school.
