I really enjoy this trilogy even though it written for 'tweeners which is great for 7th graders and those of us who have not seen that grade in a few decades (smile).

Try to look for Authurian tales, they are interesting. You may also find that historical fiction may suit your fancy because most of the time so much is unknown about other cultures and history, it is like reading a fantasy book :D

The first two Eragon books are great.
Try the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
The farther into the series, the bigger the books get. However, I read the first few in middle to high school and the whole series is amazing and wonderful.
You also might like the Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce. I loved those when I was younger.
The City of Ember and the People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau are also extremely good.
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is good, too.
PS
The Ray Bradbury book mentioned by the first poster is Fahrenheit 451.
Fahrenheit 9/11 is a nonfiction book and movie by Michael Moore

Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series. Basically 2 trilogies of amazing alternate history - set in an alternate Renaissance Europe where everything is the same. . . except that Christianity didn't catch on, and a different religion is the main one. So at the same time, everything is different! Definitely epic. (Note: also explicit at times). Jules Watson's The White Mare & The Dawn Stag - fantasy/alternate history duo about Scotland starting in 79AD, when Britain was still Roman... and Rome wanted Scotland. And since like the Dresden files, a couple other urban fantasy authors you MAY enjoy: Kelley Armstrong (start with Bitten, about a female werewolf), Patrica Briggs (start with Moon Called, which starts the coyote-girl's story), and Charlaine Harris (lighter, more humourous, though more aimed at women I think - about a telepathic cocktail waitress who ends up deep in the supernatural world.)

The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula le Guin. It is about a man whose dreams come become reality and the psychiatrist who tries to manipulate the guy's ability in order to change the world for the better... but ends up changing everything in completely unexpected ways. Very interesting and unusual. Not too long, a fast read, too. I think it would be ok for 10th grade and it also raises questions about ethics that are interesting to discuss...

try the Drizzt Do'Urden series from R.A. Salvatore. The name of the series is the Dark Elf Trilogy, and it is amazing. Drizzt is a Drow (dark) elf who's people live underground. The trilogy is full of political intrigue, epic battles, and kick butt sorcery. I loved reading this when I was in 10th grade, so perhaps you will. Also, this series is sponsored by Dungeons and Dragons, if that helps. Here is a link describing Drizzt and the stories he is in. Good luck and I hope you decide to read the novels.

I recommend the books by Douglas Adams. Its the Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy books. There are five of them and I like them all. I strongly recommend Terry Brooks and Dennis L McKiernan, especially if you liked Lord of the Rings. Dune is okay, a little weird. Weis and Hickman's Death Gate Cycle is also good.

Look into some Mercedes Lackey like "Joust" I think there are at least 3 books in this series now...It's about dragons and dragon riders and such
Tara Harper's WolfWalker series was really good and pretty age appropriate.
Also, Andre Norton is really good too. she did one called Elvenbane with Lackey that turned into a series. It was about a halfblood elf/human that could talk to dragons or was raised by them...It's been a long time since I read it...
