What are some good books for teenagers?

Michael Grant's Gone series: In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young. Teens. Tweens. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no police, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, no phones, no internet, no TV. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what’s happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents–unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers–that grow stronger by the day. It’s a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is brewing. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: on your fifteenth birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...

I'm 16 and some books I liked were. Eragon series, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, The Secret Circle, Percy Jackson books, The Uglies series, Witch and Wizard series, His Dark Materials, I am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Cloudmages, The Void series, The Septimus Heap books, Partials, The Pellinor Books, The Unseen, The Unseen 2, Wicca:Sweep series, The Maximum Ride Books That's all I can think of that i've read off the top of my head

Treasure Island Call of the Wild (Guaranteed to make you cry!) Books by Jules Verne Nicholas Sparks Books by Jane Austen Okay I know you said no vampire books, but the House of Night series is amazing P.C. and Kirsten Cast's take on vampires is new and very original it's honestly a must read (if you haven't already read them though haha)

For serious novels, I've always enjoyed Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and you may like Anthem by Ayn Rand. For imagination reading the discworld series, by terry Prachett, is AMAZING, plus there are millions of them!!

Lovely Bones Secret Life of Bees A Child Called It by David Pelzer Grimm's Fairy Tales (Originals) Memoirs of a Geisha Jane Eyre

Here's a few books that you might like :) The Chemical Garden trilogy – Lauren DeStefano (Recommend if you like the Hunger Games) The Declaration – Gemma Malley (Recommend if you like the Hunger Games) Blood red road – Moira Young (Recommend if you like the Hunger Games) The Demon Lexicon Series – Sarah Rees Brennan Sisters Red – Jackson Pearce Sweetley - Jackson Pearce The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series – Maggie Stiefvater The Books of Faerie - Maggie Stiefvater Beautiful Creature Series – Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl The Drake Chronicles - Alyxandra Harvey Stolen Away - Alyxandra Harvey Haunting Violet - Alyxandra Harvey The Moth Diaries - Rachel Klein Torn - Cat Clarke Dead Rules - Randy Russell Claire de Lune - Christina Johnson Unearthly Series – Cynthia Hand Trylle trilogy – Amanda Hocking

Break away from your current reading habits and read some of the classics. The Time Machine, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Moby Dick, War and Peace, 1984, anything by Shakespeare, etc... There is a reason that they call these books classics. I would give them a try if I were you. ( btw The "these are not for teenagers argument doesn't work with me. I started reading these kinds of books when I was 13. I'm sure that, however old you are, you will enjoy them.)

Douglas Adams is the writer for you. I highly recommend "Last Chance To See" which is a non-fiction account of his travels to see endangered animals in their natural habitats. The tales are touching and a bit humorous and all true. If you like that one, try his biggest seller "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy." It is a very funny book that was turned into a so-so movie a few years back.

Anything about Nicholas Sparks, Harry Potter, Bud, Not Buddy, Gathering Blue, Willow, The Trylle novels and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
