I am a teen librarian. I'm taking an online course about teens and books. One of my assignments is to read 2 books recommended by teens. Any suggestions?

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Night by Elie Wiesel
Two of my favorite books, and yes, I am a teen.

The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Series #1) by Philip Pullman Good books to read, well written. Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness Series #1) by Tamora Pierce Best books I have ever read. Main character grows up with the books. In other books Tamora write they turn up again. Nice that you keep seeing them and what's happening in their life. Strong women too. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide Series #1) by Douglas Adams Tells you the meaning of life. Which is 42. British humor. When Lightning Strikes (1-800-Where-R-You Series #1) by Meg Cabot Fun light reading. Liked these books much more then I thought I would. Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling Umm, duh. All very good books which are worth reading.

Firstly, I would recommend 'The Amulet of Samarkand', 'The Golem's Eye' and 'Ptolemy's Gate', which are all part of the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. It is tremendously funny and I and all my friends have enjoyed it.
Secondly, I would recommend 'Across yhe Nightingale Floor', 'Grass for His Pillow', 'Brilliance of the Moon' and 'Harsh Cry of the Heron' which are all part of the Tales of The Otori series by Lian Hearn.
Unfortunately, I realise that you only have to read two books, but if I were in your position, I would read both series, as they are two opposite sides of popular teen books.

The City of Ember was really good, a lot of my classmated liked it as well. I also liked the Redwall Series and A series of unfortunate events, those are really popular. I saw lots of people reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but I haven't read it yet.

Dont' forget Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Also, maybe a graphic novel. I liked Y: The last Man and Persepolis.

Any books by Kevin Brooks. His books are pretty "hard core" if you know what I mean. So if you have way over protective parents I don't know.
Margret Peterson Haddix is another awesome author.
