Good Books Please..? (Read Description, and I'm only 13 so no graunchy stuff)?

Question

Hey. I love to read but I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SOME GOOD BOOKS ARE!!!!

Things I am interested in are:

Romance (Yeah, sex is okay but not like ever chapter is BANG BANG BANG..... BANG.... OH DANG LETS BANG)

Action sort of. Like I read the Outsiders and I LOVED IT..But not like BAM WAM POW....DEAD..

I am not a huge fan on mystery, so PLEASE NO NANCY DREW OR BOX CAR KIDS (EW)

I AM MOST DEFINATLY NOT INTO WITCHES AND WARLOCKS AND ALL THAT!!

I am always up for new kinds of books. Not please, no magic or mystery...

Here are some books that I would have to suggest:

The hunger games, by suzanne collins

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series (really, really good :D)

All American Girl by Meg Cabot (once again, truly amazing)

Airhead by Meg Cabot

The Clique series

The Maxium Ride series

And if you want to give fantasy a try, I would suggest the Percy Jackson series

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Dangerous Days: The Autobiography of a Photojournalist, and its sequel, Blades: The Autobiography of a Rescue-Helicopter Pilot, both by J. William Turner. Very realistic fiction about teens in several dramatic life and death situations set in Australia, Canada, England and California during the years 1981-1982 and 1995-2001. Each is written as a series of four related shorter books (about 100 pages per book) inside a single cover dealing with teenage, adult and social themes. No sex scenes or cussing. More info in Google

An Episode of Sparrows--Rumer Godden

The Didikoi--Rumer Godden

The Magic Island--Elizabeth Goudge (no wizards, witches or warlocks)

Green Dolphin Street--Elizabeth Goudge

The Last Unicorn--Peter Beagle (fantasy, but WELL worth reading, even if you don't like magic)

Tamsin--Peter Beagle (Ditto)

Something Wicked This Way Comes--Ray Bradbury (ditto again)

Malafrena--Ursula K. LeGuin

It you can afford $3 - go to Smashwords.com and look at The Long Way Home. It's written for teens - no vampires, no magic, no shoot-em-ups, but lots of action and adventure. I think you will like it.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Anything by author Judith Gest , they are kind of adult but you sound like you are ahead of your age , and when I mean adult I do not mean porn . I hope this peaks your interest .
