well for one thing...Harry Potter. Thats one of my favorite series. If you haven't already read them, sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of my favorite books ever is cobwebs, by karen young...thats awesome. also, the dueling princes, stealing princes, pulling princes set...i love those. One of those hideous books where the mother dies (yes, thats the title) i love that book, i've read it like 6 times. all of those are great...i hope there's at least a few you haven't read here!

You need to find something that is enjoyable to read, of course.  \n\nTHE SECRET DIARY OF ADRIAN MOLE is good and can be consumed in bite sized chunks.\n\nQuerky things that are fun but also proper reading.\nJames Herbert's FLUKE is a good read for a child and it has the "cool" factor of being written by a horror writer even though it's the first person narration of a dog.\n\nAnother tack could be game-like books. The Fighting Fantasy series of game books are like novels but with multiple story lines which you have to play to read making the combination of reading and pleasure interreliant.

Well, that depends a lot on what else you're looking for in  a book.  If you want some romantic overlays, Nora Roberts  has the Three Sisters Trilogy about witches in New England, and another trio about Celtic Gods and Goddesses, Tears of the Moon is the only title that comes to mind.  Mercedes Lackey does some nice Gothic type magic stories, usually listed under sci-fi/fantasy, and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has a series with Godmother in the title -- great takes on fairy tales.\n\nAs far as more DIY style books relating to magic, Silver Ravenwolf does some nice stuff, To Ride a Silver Broomstick is a great primer.  Anything by Scott Cunningham is very informative -- more reference than practice.\n\nMystery?  You can't go wrong with Elizabeth Peters, check out the Amelia Peabody series.  There are about 15 books relating to the adventures of this Victorian Egyptologist.\n\nAnd just for a good, funny read -- Terry Pratchett.  The Discworld series is fantastic -- magic is part of pretty much all the stories, and there's usually some mystery to be solved.  Try The Witches Abroad.

Before I recommend a couple, you need to examine what interests you. Dont write a book report because someone says so or you found great reviews on the internet. You need to ask yourself "What sort of fiction I like?"\n\nAs for fantasy try any book by Terry Pratchett.\nWant something recent how about the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Since most people watched the movie, reading the book and making a possible comparison with the movie could be impressive.\n\nWant to try classic novels. Go with the tried and true Tom Sawyer, any of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, any Agatha Cristie book (if you are into solving crimes).\n\nFeeling academic? Try some literature books. Lord of the Flies, impress the teacher and write about a Shakespeare play..Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice (those ones arent too bad)\n\nMy point is write on what you enjoyed reading or would enjoy reading. Don't let the size of the book discourage you. Trust me, if the book interests you, you won;t put it down until you have read the last word on the very last page.

Try R.L.Stine books and I don't mean the Goosebump ones. \nI have a few I picked up in a New & Used bookstore near me. \nThey are located in the Teen section not the children's.\nI'm much older than you and I enjoyed them.

Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger\nZen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance by Robert Pirsig\nThe Chosen by Chaim Potok...\n\n\n"make sure it's something that a high schooler should be reading"\n\na 'high schooler' should be reading everything under the sun....What exactly shouldn't you be reading?.\nWhy would anyone censor what a teenager reads?\nBesides Hard core porn, possibly...

Depends on your interests. I used to love to read "chick lit" while edging away from my hardcore books for my Lit major. Chick lit is basically romance-ish books that aren't your moms romance novels. They are about fashion, shopping, dating, sex and etc. and are quick and easy reads. \n\nAnything by Meg Cabot is excellent and then Candace Bushnell of Sex and the City fame.
