The Percy Jackson books are clever and fun! I'd also recommend Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer

Cheryl Hall | 51 comments If she's in the mood for a thought provoking read I'd suggest Noughts & Crosses. Which is recommended for ages 13 and up.

Laney | 99 comments I'm going old school and saying Harry Potter, I grew up reading them and I am so glad I had that chance.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Yes! Harry Potter. I also enjoyed any book by Diana Wynne Jones, but especially Howl's Moving Castle. Also the Gregor the Overlander series is good. So is the The City of Ember series.

Shelby | 52 comments The Single Girl Series
Single-Handed (Single Girls, #1) by Veronica Blade Singled Out (Single Girls, #2) by Veronica Blade Single-Minded (Single Girls, #3) by Veronica Blade by Veronica Blade
Is a really good series made up of three short story books. I hope you find what you're looking for!

Daniela Florez Hi! I can't come up with a better book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REGRET IT, ther is no better book to learn from, it's not just about magic and some curses, it's about LOVE, FAMILY, FRIENDS, BRAVERY... this book is about life. Believe me, this book educates. I started this one when I was 12 and my mom gave it to me, and it was the best thing my mom has ever gave me, besides life of course, and I dont think life would have been the same without it.
