Answer 1

Glad you read those other two- THEY ARE GREAT BOOKS!

Try these authors:
Ellen Hopkins- rights in prose, VERY deep and dark books. Suggesting you start with the book called CRANK, its actually semi-autobiographical
Philippa Gregory- deals with the court of Henry VIII, a little more adult
Stephanie Meyer- I heard the trilogy is very good and I am actually starting the first book, Twilight, myself
L.J. Smith- the Vampire Diaries, very good
Tanith Lee- Piractica: (from the back cover) Artmesia spent her childhood on a pirate ship, and she's sick of practicing deportment at the Angels Academy for Young Maidens. So she escapes, and sets out to find her mother's crew and breezily commands them out to sea. Soon, the young captian
-now called Art- shapes her men into the cleverst pirate band afloat. And when they meet the dreaded ship Enemy and her beautiful treacherous captain, Goldie Girl. The Seven Seas aren't large enough for two pirate queens. Art will have to wage the battle of her life to win her mother's title- and the greatest treasure in pirate lore!
Anonymous- Go Ask Alice, about a girl who gets caught in the twisted cyclone that is LSD and every other drug out there. Placed in the early sixties, late seventies.
Joyce Carol Oates- freaky green eyes. The title says it all!
Scott Westerfeld- great series
Frances Hodgson Burnett- A Little Princess, total classic
Celia Rees- Witch Child and Sorceress, very good
Alice Sebold- Bones and Lucky
Agatha Christie- best mystery novelist, and she is right behind The Bible and Shakespere for the most printed books in the world!
Sonya Sones- more poetry, but much lighter than Ellen Hopkins
Markus Zusack- The Book Thief, places in WWII
Brain Jacques- FANTASTIC author, HUGE series
Stephen King- A-M-A-Z-I-N-G spells what?
Ordinary People- AMAZING x2

Enjoy!

Answer 2

Michelle Weston has written an excellent book called A PROPHECY FORGOTTEN which is the first in a new series. Here is my book review:

M. B. Weston’s A Prophecy Forgotten (Book One of The Elysian Chronicles) is an outstanding first novel in what is bound to be a significant book series. Though technically a Young Adult book, A Prophecy Forgotten is Young Adult the way the Harry Potter series is – people of all ages will love it. The action starts in a mystical place called Heaven’s Realm, where the Cherubians (the good guys, for the most part) are locked in a war with the Mornachts (the bad guys).

The story stretches all the way to earth, where a novice Cherubian soldier named Gabriella watches over a troubled young boy named Tommy. Tommy is the subject of the forgotten prophecy for which the book is named. Unaware of his epic destiny, Tommy is kept plenty busy by the break-up of his parents’ marriage and problems at school. While Gabriella does her best to protect him from bullies and wandering Mornachts, a Cherubian Special Forces officer named Davian is trying to learn just what role Tommy will play in saving Heaven’s Realm. Davian leads a hand-picked team of Cherubian soldiers deep into Morvenia, the land of the Mornachts, not knowing that the real threat is back in his home country, Elysia.

M.B. Weston has created a fantastic world filled with prescient unicorns, hyperactive sprites, supposedly neutral gnomes, wolves, Sabers (saber-toothed tigers), dragons, and a Minotaur or two. Even so, this is no fantasy realm: There are rules here. The Cherubians can fly, but they are susceptible to poisonwood arrows fired by the Mornachts. When a Mornacht is killed in battle it explodes, posing all sorts of difficulties for covert operators like Davian. A set of books called The Runes is believed by some Cherubians to hold the answer to their difficulties, but others scoff at this ancient wisdom. And on earth, Gabriella tries to steer Tommy away from making the wrong choices, choices which will make him susceptible to the Mornachts.

M.B. Weston is an exciting new voice with a limitless imagination and a wonderful sense of humor. If the rest of this series is only half as good as A Prophecy Forgotten, it will be a major success.

Answer 3

If you liked HP, here are some of the fantasy books that I like.
Madeline L'Engle "A Wrinkle In Time" this is a series of I think 4 or 5 books.
C.S. Lewis "Chronicles of Narnia"
I also like J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" series, but you might want to start with "the Hobbit" which is the prequel and a little bit more fun to read because it is not as "dark".

Answer 4

I myself don't like Harry Potter...Just a note.

Anyways, for girls with more of a tom-boy attitude I think that any of Tamora Perice's books would be good. Warriors by Erin Hunter are also good books. Chornicils of Narnia and Lord of the Rings don't need to be said. Struat Hill's Cry of the Icemark and Blade of Fire are also good. The Golden Compass is a nice book as well. These are all books I have read recently and more then once.

Answer 5

Jane Austen's novels
Trial By Fire by Sabine C Bauer
Goners series by Jamie Simons
Avalon High by Meg Cabot
Roswell by Sonny Whitelaw
Kiki Strike by Kirsten Miller
Quantum Prophecy The Awakening by Michael Carroll
