I have a list of books I recommend for teens -
What books should I add to my list?
Are there any books I should delete from my list and WHY?
Are there any comments you wish to make about any of the books on my list?
Please note that I have separate lists for Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mysteries, Classics, and Christian Fiction. – This list is primarily recent books which are particularly popular with teens.

BIG LYNN – I’m not at all offended! As a matter of fact I’d like to see your suggestions be made mandatory for all teens. Unfortunately, they’ve all grown up watching people drive and don’t take seriously just how dangerous a car can be. Some of the things I have seen people attempting to do while attempting to drive astound me!
Suzanne
Illusions by Richard Bach
percy jackson and the olympians is quite good chek it out
i dont think you should delete any, they all are good (the ones i have read) and i have heard good things about the ones that i have not read.
you should probably add the inheritance cycle to your list; eragon and eldest by christopher paolini (the third book in the 4 part series comes out in september.)
comments? yes! i love love love love love love love LOVE twilight!!!
Ellen Hopkins’s books resemble poems that all relate into one story.
The Eragon, Looking Glass Wars, and Cornelia Funke’s books are decent for fantasy.
I think it’s a good list. Good luck! ^^
I’m a 15 year old male and I just finished “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote and it was the only truly good book I think I’ve ever read. It is the only novel that I have actually read because I wanted to (technically I HAD to for a report, but I enjoyed the time I spent reading it). I think any teenager would love this book, especially other males.
u need to add this book
TWILIGHT BECAUSE ITS THE BEST EVER,AND NEW MOON AND ECLIPS AND IN (103 DAYS 3 HOURS 56 MINS AND 9SEC)GET Breaking Dawn
I love all of Meg Cabot and Sophie Kinsella’s books. I am in the process of reading Emily Giffins books now. They are really great authors.
I haven’t read all the books on the list but the books I have read that are on there deserve their spot there
You should add the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. AMAZING series.
So far there are 4 books in the series but I hear J. Patterson is working on the 5th.
Louise Rennison books, she has a series of a girl who is funny

and eragon.
the pendragon series. it’s very well written
i think you have done excetionaly well. this seems to have been well research and the layout is great. hope you dont mind but i think you should also add the highway code book, and a learning to drive book, because these are also interesting books for teenagers who are thinking about when they are old enough to drive. hope i didn’t offend you, because none intended. but well done to you.
