Answer 2

The only series of books I loved at your age was The Little Colonel by Annie Fellows Johnston. The first three books were handed down through my family. Since that time I have collected several others from the series. They were written between 1895 and 1912.

Answer 3

Seven Deadly Sins series by Robin Wasserman
Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz
Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld
The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory

Answer 4

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli and it's sequel Love, Stargirl

The Giver by Lois Lowry

Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson and the sequels, Peter and the Shadow Thieves, and Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (I've read the 1st and am halfway through the second, but they're excellent so far.)

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

I liked The Looking Glass War (Sorry I can't remember the author! the sequel is Seeing Redd) and Maximum Ride by James Patterson or 13 little blue envelopes by Maureen Johnson, but if you want to go a little more romantic Beauty by Robin McKinley (I think thats how you spell her name) is good. And a lot of Margaret Peterson Haddix's books. Oh! And I'd Tell you I love you but then I'd have to Kill you by Ally Carter. That was good. Happy reading!

Answer 6

Do you like nonfiction? I recommend "Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the fascinating, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method.

Born in what is now Iraq in 965, Ibn al-Haytham studied theology, trying to resolve the differences between the Shi'ah and Sunnah sects. He turned his attention to the works of the ancient Greek philosophers and mathematicians. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding analytic geometry. He traveled to Egypt to build a dam on the Nile, failed, and ended up imprisoned in Cairo for ten years. During this time he began systematically testing hypotheses with experiments, the core of the scientific method.

"Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/

Answer 7

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause

It's a werewolf book. If you've seen the movie, let me tell you that the book is ALOT different. I highly recommend it.

Peeps by Scott Westerfeld

It's about vampires. But the vampires aren't your stereotypical bite to the neck vampires. It's a parasite that makes them crave blood, disgusting I know. But it's a very cool book and it's very well written. And the author tells you some cool and disgusting facts about parasites throughout the book. I highly recommend it
