Book recommendations for young teen?!! Help

[Jane]

I really need some book recommendations for my age group, 12-14. Ive read hunger games, divergent harry potter and all that. Any YA recommendations!???

[J.A.]

the bloodlines project? Dystopia with a fiesty 14 year old heroine.

[David]

There's a cool Book Gift Guide that gives some good recommendations: http://www.bookgiftguide.com/young-adult

I would also recommend and , all INCREDIBLE!

[Jane]

Thanks for helping!

[David]

No worries :) Happy reading!

[Wren]

Anything by Cassandra Clare, Beautiful Creatures, Under the Never Sky, Delirium, those last two are dystopian. If you're looking for something cute and fun The Ex Games by Jennifer Echols, also by her- Major Crush.

Have you read Legend? The main characters are only fifteen but are very mature. I really loved Cinder too.:)

[Jane]

I have the book Legend and im hoping to read it soon. I'll check out Cinder too.

[David]

Ah I love Under the Never Sky, great call! And The Mortal Instruments and Clockwork series were both pretty awesome too!

Ooh you'll love Legend, it's awesome!! And Cinder is one of my faves! Marissa Meyer just did an INCREDIBLE live Q&A in my YA group, she was so awesome! Here's a link in case anyone's interested: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I recommend Percy Jackson and the Olympians & The Heroes of Olympus series! :)

[Jane]

Ya, I really loved the Percy Jackson series!

[Lynn]

I really liked the Fallen series by Lauren Kate.

[Jane]

Ok, thanks!

Ahh Percy is one of my favorites too!!!

[Daisya]

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a great young teen read :)

[David]

Agreed! The Fault in Our Stars is really good! And it's on sale right now on Kindle!

[Ames]

I really liked The Selection Shatter Me and Across the Universe!
As someone mentioned before, the Mortal Instruments. I LOVE the series, so I definitely recommend it.
Also Flipped! Although you might be a bit old for it, (I read it when I was 10/11), it's just such a fun book! Or you could watch the movie haha. :)

[Krizza Mae]

John Green's books. Harry Potter, Infernal Devices and Divergent.

I really loved Across the Universe, and that series gets better and better with each book :)

"Krizza Mae wrote: John Green's books, Harry Potter, Infernal devices and Divergent."

Amazing series'! However, I don't read a lot of John Green's books.

[Harlee]

Has anyone mentioned The Maze Runner yet? I've only read the first book so far but I thought it was pretty good!

[Rachel]

No, but I have heard lots of good things about it.

[Ames]

yeah! That was an amazing book, but people have many different reviews about the next few in the series. In my opinion, the next two are decent, but definitely not as good as the first one.

[David]

I loved The Maze Runner, was pretty meh on The Scorch Trials and then thought the third book was pretty good :)

[Harlee]

I plan on getting The Scorch Trials in a few weeks, so hopefully I like it!

[Jane]

Does anyone think Shatter me is good? Im thinking of reading it

[David]

Shatter Me was one of my weirdest reading experiences ever! I was completely and utterly enthralled for the first half of the book. I was literally walking into things because I couldn't put my Kindle down. The writing was unique and beautiful and so so creative. And then I ended up really not liking the direction the plot went and I felt the writing lost some of its luster in the second half. So it ended up being a weird read for me.

But I did read the novella, which I liked, and I'm planning on continuing in the series, because the writer is exceptionally talented. I think you should give it a shot, so many people love this series! But be prepared for some very unique and jarring writing, especially early on :)

[Jane]

Ok, I'll try it out

[Jane]

Thanks to everyone who suggested books to me!!!

[Jane]

Is the Darkest minds appropriate for a 12 year old?

[Kaity]

[Binari]

[Night Owl]

These are some really good books that I have enjoyed while I was around that age(Except, I've read Wonder more recently.)

[A Girl With Her Nose in a Book]

I would recommend the Ruby Red trilogy. The Gallagher Girls and Heist Society books by Ally Carter are really good too.

[Nikki]

Hmm. I would suggest Divergent and Percy Jackson, definitely. Depending on what you like, The Morganville Vampires series is very good, as well as the Vampire Academy series (the first movie in the series is being released in February). I've also read the Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schreiber. They're directed towards a younger group. Anything by Sarah Dessen is usually really good. Or even Peaches. I read that as a sophomore in high school and remember really enjoying it.

[Jessi]

I really second Kaitlynne's and Leanne's suggestions above of the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter.

(Book #1)

They're very smart and nothing like anything else in YA I read.

[Maryanne]

Here are three from YA Author Markelle Grabo
