Answer 2

Hi! I'm 15 years old so I'm pretty much in your age group. I'm also in a book club at my school. Here are 4 books that I found were really good. Each is a different genre so you should find something you like. I will also give the synopsis from my paper on my club. All of the 4 books below are also written by Canadian authors!

THE BONEMENDER-By Holly Bennett
This book is a Fantasy novel that deals with kingdoms, elves and love.
-The fantasy kingdom of the Krylian Basin is under threat of attack from the north by the Greffaires. Gabrielle, a skilled bonemender and a member of the royal family, strikes up a friendship with the elvish scout Feolan. By working together, will they be able to protect their families and their freedom?

FOUR STEPS TO DEATH-By John Wilson.
This is a historical fiction book from around the time of Hitler. It brings in 3 different points of view from the war from 3 very different people. It does have some gruesome and very descriptive parts though.
-The shocking discovery of some decayed bodies reawakens painful memories of the 1942 Battle of Stalingrad for 70year old Sergei. The storyline follows Vasily, a weary Russian soldier traveling by train to the battle front; Conrad, a young German officer leading a tank division towards Volga; Yelena, a cool sniper poised to kill as many Fascists as she can; and the young Sergei, a frightened child hiding in a basement. The havoc and tension of war is movingly conveyed as the lives of these four people come crashing together.

ME AND THE BLONDES- By Teresa Toten
This book is a fiction novel. I think that it is based in around 1970, but I'm not entirely sure. I found this book to be funny at times.
-Sophie is determined to make her grade nine year the best yet; if she can befriend the blondes and protect her family secret, she just might. With the help of her Bulgarian mother, doting Aunties, stellar basketball skills and charming wit, Sophie sets out to make a fresh start and discovers the true meaning of friendship.

HOW TO BE A HERO ON EARTH FIVE- By Rob Payne
This is one of my favorites! It is a Science Fiction book. I found lots of parts very funny and it was also suspenseful!
- Seventeen-year-old John Fitzgerald heads off to England for the summer. The plane takes an unexpected stop to Earth 5, a parallel universe with 15-hour days, distortion waves and the threat of elimination. He thought having to spend the simmer with strange relatives was bad!

Also read: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (very long series but also very good) (Im not sure if OSC is a Canadian author though)
and
Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. (Soon to be made into a movie. If you like this one the sequel is Skybreaker)

There you go! I hope you find something you like!

Answer 3

The Giver by Lois Lowry is a great YA book, with short chapters, that also won a Newbery Medal for Best Childrens Literature. It is the story of a young boy coming of age in a futuristic dystopian society - one where it seems like everything is perfect, but once you uncover its secrets... well, I won't give it away, but if you haven't read it yet, check it out!

Answer 4

OMG!!! I just finished the best book ever today. It's called Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. It has pretty short chapters and makes you not want to put it down until you finish it. I loved it and I'm the same age as you so I think you would too.

Answer 5

Inkheart and Inkspell by Cornelia Funke. The 3rd book in the trilogy comes out in 2008, it's called Inkdawn.

Inkheart(534 pages) Meggie’s father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book’s wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie’s mother in.
Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!

Inkspell(635 pages) Just a few chapters into Inkspell, Mo (a.k.a. "Silvertongue") sagely says to his daughter, "Stories never really end, Meggie, even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page." A fitting meta-observation for this, the unplanned second installment in Cornelia Funke's beloved now-trilogy.
Of course, it's that sort of earnest, almost gushing veneration of books and book-loving that made the absorbing suspense-fantasy Inkheart so wonderful in the first place, with that lit-affection getting woven integrally into the plot (Inkheart being both Funke's first book in the series, and the fictitious book within that book, authored by the frustrated Fenoglio, now trapped within the book, er, within the book. Fenoglio, perhaps not surprisingly, self-referentially wishes in Inkspell that he had written a sequel to Inkheart.) Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning. Expect a tantalizing finale, too--as Funke says, "No reader will forgive me the ending, though, without a part three."

They're kind of long but perfect for your reading level. I really think you'll enjoy them. They're 2 of the best books I've ever read.
