Heyy Everyone!
first I would like to thanks you in advanced!!
Anyways, down to the question
I need a good book to read. My class is doing this thing where you get to pick your book to read, and do some activities with it. The book is supposably enjoyable. The book can't be inappropriate. I am in 6th grade, but I read at about a 9th or 10th grade level. A lot of time adult. But, the book has to be appropriate (no swearing, or bad romance!!) I love fantasy. Here are some books I loved....
Eragon
Eldest
The Bartenous Triology
Redwall Series
Uglies Triology
A great and Terrible Beauty
Inkheart
Inkspell
Remeber I want to impress my teacher!
Thanks a ton!!
xoxo

I recommend Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia C Wrede and Carolyn Stevermer (see reviews at http://www.amazon.com/Sorcery-Cecelia-Enchanted-Chocolate-Pot/dp/015205300X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9510317-9355141?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176235575&sr=1-1 ). It's a fantasy novel set in England circa 1800 in a world where magic is real and commonplace. It's told in the form of letters back and forth between two cousins who are also best friends. One has gone to London for the season, while the other is stuck back home at the country manor, bored out of her skull and wishing she could be in the big city. They separately stumble across sinister plots and mysteries that turn out to be related and have to save each other and themselves plus, like, the world. And their cousin Oliver gets turned into a tree, but nobody really notices. It's age-appropriate, it's fun and funny and blends history, comedy, drama, adventure, mystery and a little bit of (clean) romance.
I don't know if it will impress your teacher, but I think you'll like it. And the historical setting will give you a chance to maybe work with activities related to history, fashion, class and other issues, which may impress your teacher.
A similar book that's excellent is "His Majesty's Dragon" by Naomi Novik (see http://www.amazon.com/His-Majestys-Dragon-Temeraire-Book/dp/0345481283/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9510317-9355141?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176235951&sr=1-1 for reviews), but I think Sorcery and Cecelia is a better choice.
I don't know if it's too advanced, but I also recommend Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (see http://www.amazon.com/Neverwhere-Neil-Gaiman/dp/0380789019/ref=ed_oe_p/104-9510317-9355141?ie=UTF8&qid=1176236013&sr=1-1 ) It's an excellent fantasy novel about a world under London, but it may be a bit dark.

i highly recommend "twilight" by stephanie meyer. it's a romance. i'm not going to give away anymore because i want u to form your own opinion if u read it. even if u don't pick the book as your project, READ IT FOR PLEASURE. there are no bad words or inappropriate events. u are guarenteed to love twilight, especially since u liked the uglies trilogy. i promise, u will NOT be disappointed. if u do read it, u'll want to read the sequel, too. it's called "new moon."
a very advanced (but great) book is "the count of monte cristo." i just finished reading the unabridged version (1462) pages. there are some dull parts, but the last few hundred pages are worth it. i also recommend "gone with the wind" if u haven't already read it.
hope this helps!!!!

Try The Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind. The First book is Wizard's First Rule.

Read WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS by Wilson Rawls or JULIE OF THE WOLVES by Jean Craighead George. Both are award-winning books appropriate for your age and grade, and they will certainly impress your teacher. Of course, if you really want to impress her, read DAVID COPPERFIELD by Charles Dickens. It's a little harder to read, but it doesn't have any bad language in it. It will make you appreciate your life.
