Answer 3

Exposing yourself to a variety of literature is recommended. Of course, everyone possesses preferences. Still, by reading several genres and authors you will enhance knowledge and vocabulary among other things.

Don't know whether you've read the following or not, but these are a few of my personal favorites:

To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee

Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen

A Seperate Peace- John Knowles

A Christmas Carol- Charles Dickens

The Christmas Box- Richard Paul Evans

Out of the Dust- Karen Hesse


A Walk to Remember- Nicholas Sparks

Any book in a series entitled Dear America published by scholastic- various

The Notebook- Nicholas Sparks

A Painted House- John Grisham

The Grapes of Wrath- John Steinbeck

The Five People You Meet in Heaven- Mitch Albom

Don't know much about your reading level or interest but give these books a try. If you want a quick read and like historical fiction, you'll definitely enjoy Dear America books as mentioned above. Regardless, all of the books in this list are tasteful, so I don't think your parents should object. Still, you should involve them in this process if possible.

Happy reading!

In reference to your postscript, have you read Number the Stars by Lois Lowry? If not, add it to your list and follow it up with the Diary of Anne Frank.

Answer 4

Well, I love to read books that are interesting and won't put me to sleep. I am 13 and really into the teen books in the young adult section. I like reading stories like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Mates and Dates series, and right now I'm reading an interesting book called "The Other Sister" which is about a girl who finds out that she has an older sister she never knew about. I think the book is so far very interesting and exciting. Well, I hope this helped you out on some stories to read. Good Luck!!

Try Showdown by Ted Dekker. It's really good, even though I'm sure SOME of his fans think their the only ones in the world who is allowed to read his books, much less like them.
