Books for teenagers (of course)

No chick flicky books D:

Any good book that 'at least' contain:
-fantasy
-comedy
-romance
-a little action

For short, a book that's really gripping that I won't be able to put down..

Any of those?

Try the Witches of Karres by James Schmitz. It has a little bit of everything - light science fiction/fantasy, comedy, romance and action.
Jayne Ann Krentz writes fantasy romances under the name Jayne Castle, though they're a bit light in the action department. So does Nora Roberts.
Enjoy!

I have found that the ones I had to read in school when I was younger really worked well for my younger teenagers. And they are classics as well but they may not be as interesting to you as Harry Potter. But anyway the classic "Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Series". I thought they were excellent.
