Answer 1

Take no notice of the answer above He's just advertising his own book. He's not interested in you. Don't go for it

Answer 2

Well, I've always like the classics and real literature, so I'm going to give you a list of the ones that are better suited to middle school students.

Lord of the Flies
1984
Of Mice and Men
Night
The Giver
Brave New World
Catcher in the Rye
Diary of Anne Frank
The Bounty Trilogy:Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea, and Pitcairn's Island (other people in my 7th grade class especially like the last one)
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

I also liked Gone With the Wind, but it might not be for everyone.

I don't know what your reading level is, but more challenging literature would include anything by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy, or Fyodor Dostoevsky. These are more high school-college level, but you can try them.

Answer 3

Lois Lowry - she wrote The Giver. There are two other books that go along with it: Gathering Blue and messenger.

Lurlene McDaniel has some good titles, but most are sort of sad. Still, if I see one when I'm out shopping (I buy to sell on-line), I'll pick them up and usually read it, even if I do cry a bit. :)

Gary Paulsen wrote Hatchet, but there are a lot of other titles he has written.

Walter Dean Myers is another writer I like. I read Monster, which was written in script form. Pretty powerful book.

Sharon Draper has a book called Tears of a Tiger. This is one that I pick up, put on for sale and it sells before I can finish it. About a high school basketball player and what occurs when he goes out and has too much fun.

Whirligig has the same type of premise. It's by Paul Fleishman. It touched me, too.

What about The Uglies, Pretties and Specials by Scott Westerfeld? I've recently ordered them, but they seem to have good reviews.

Answer 4

Island of the Blue Dolphins and any other books by Scott O'Dell
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
The Pigman by Paul Zindel
The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
You could also try other books by Daniel M. Pinkwater (he likes to change how he signs his name for his books but his last name Pinkwater should be enough to find him by).

Hopefully you'll find something to like in the list. Good luck!

Answer 5

For good young adult fantasy books, I would suggest the "Abhorsen Trilogy", "Inheritance Trilogy", or the "Bartimaeus Trilogy", and possibly "Tales from Redwall", if you don't mind reading books intended for younger audiences.
For a good sci-fi read, try "Ender's Game" or "The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm." They are both very engrossing and gripping books.
If you prefer a more challenging read, you could try "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings," and if you are looking for an even greater challenge, try "The Iliad" or "The Odyssey" epics.

Answer 6

King Fortis the Brave

Answer 7

Money: Whence it Came, Where it Went by John Kenneth Galbraith. It's an overview of the history of money, banking, and monetary fraud. It's a good, interesting book.

Answer 8

Check out anything by V.C. Andrews. The older series are the best ones. Flowers in the Attic, Ruby, etc.

Answer 9

anything by Dean Koontz or Karl Hiaasen. Two very different types of stories.
Koontz is thrillers, Hiaasen more humor.
WARNING! Both can get a little gory.

Answer 10

Anything by Simon Winchester.
