Number the Stars by Lois Lowry is more for intermediate readers, but it's a fantastic book. Likewise Night by Elie Wiesel, though that one is far more depressing. To Kill a Mockingbird holds up well - it's not just for school, folks.

There is also an author I particularly like called Kat Momenzadeh

Terry Brooks-"Magic Kingdom for Sale-Sold!". Fantasy, humourous.

Rand and Robyn Miller and David Wingrove- "Myst the Book of Ti'Ana" and "Myst the Book of Atrus".

Any autobiography and all the classics.

"20,000 Leagues under the Sea"
"Jungle Book"
"Beowulf"
"Contact"
Richard Bach's "Ferret Series"
Anything by Jack London
Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein"
Gaston Leroux "Phantom of the Opera"

Another one just popped into my head - The Otori series, by Liam Hearn.

For younger teens I'd really reccomend anything by Sally Odgers an Australian author. I really enjoyed her novel "Candleiron". She primarily Fantasy. I think she also happens to be a member here at funtriva but I could be wrong.

You are correct. Sally is a FunTrivia member. You can play her quizzes here too, under the name of sallyo.

I want to thank everyone who'se recommened the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers. I can't remember who it was. I read the first book in a little over 24 hours. I loved it so much I couldn't put it down.

So many of my friends are reading them...I should, but I haven't got around to it yet.
