Does anyone know of any good teenage novels to read?

I need some good (teenage) books to read. iDoes anyone know of any good teenage novels to read?
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins


Uglies - Scott Westerfeld (and anything else by him)


You Don't Know Me - David Klass


Unwind - Neal Shusterman


Thirteen Reasons Why - Jay Asher


Generation Dead - Daniel Waters


Gone - Micheal Grant


Skinned - Robin Wasserman


Hacking Harvard - Robin Wasserman


Can't Get There From Here - Todd Strasser


The Year Of Secret Assignments - Moriarty


Godless - Pete Hautman


Going Nowhere Faster - (I can't remember the author)


Pretty Little Liars - (Can't remember the author)





All of those books are great!!Does anyone know of any good teenage novels to read?
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is a very original book. This book was AWESOME, and one of the best , if not THE best mystery/horror book I've read. I'd recommend for girls or guys, but not for anybody younger than sixteen, or possibly fifteen. Very graphic scenes.





American Gods by Neil Gaiman is a very original genre-bending novel. If you want something unlike anything you've ever read, I highly recommend this one. Once again, however, beware of some graphic scenes, and over-all weirdness.





The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is easily the best fantasy book since The Lord of the Rings. If you like any form of fantasy you will love this book. It's easily in my top three favorite books.





Jumper and it's sequel Reflex by Stephen Gould are probably my favorite sci-fi books I've read. Don't be fooled by the movie Jumper, the only things the book and the movie had in common were the names of the people and Davids ability to teleport. Highly highly recommended.





The Dragon Riders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey is an excellent fantasy/sci-fi series. I haven't read all of the books in the series, as it is a very large series, but those that I have read I enjoyed immensely. For the most part you can read them in any order, as they take place over a broad span of time and each book usually has it's own set of characters.





Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is also a very good book. It combines several genres but is for the most part a romance. It is quite possibly my favorite romance book. It's aso part of a series, but I've only read the first one.
Twilight if you havent already read the series - in order they are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn





Well if you like romance novels......(these are some of my favorites!)I cannot rememeber all the authors though soooo umm sorry





Love on the Lifts





Icing on the Lake





Caribbean Crusing





When it happens





If you have already read Twilight and are into vampires.......





The Vampire Academy Series- Sadly cannot remember the author but a really great series in order the books go Vampire Academy, Frostbite, Shadow Kiss





Marked Series By PC Cast and Kristen Cast- Awesome series ( loved them!!!!) The order is Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, Hunted and there is going to be more coming!!!! The series is about a girl that is marked and is different and special from everyone else throughout the books she has to overcome many things.





Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schriber- fantastic series - cannot remember the order but there is 5 books sooo far and there is going to be a lot more coming. The books are about a goth girl that falls in love with a vampire in her area ( sorta of like Twilight but not really) its a really great series





If you like something about ghosts.......





The Meditator Series by Meg Cabot- Really good series. The books are about a girl who can see spirits and tries to help them. She eventully even falls in love with one.





The Lovely Bones- dont know the author and i am currently reading its pretty good so far. the book is wrote from her perspective from heaven as she watches her killer and her families greif.
