Book Recommendations
Here's a post for book recommendations (making, asking, whatever). It's permanently linked from the lefthand sidebar of the site as "Review/Recommend" (under the "Explore the Site" navigation section), so you can find it again easily even after it ceases to be a recent post.
A few of my own to start things off:
Cecil Castellucci's The Plain Janes and its sequel Janes In Love are wonderful graphic novels about teen friendship, romance and discovering your creative side.
Diane Duane's So You Want to Be a Wizard and all the other books in the series are probably my favourite young adult fantasy novels of all time. Mature, humane, action-packed and superbly written.
Finally, two book that were important to me in high school:
- Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, one of the greatest anti-war novels ever from an absolutely unique writer.
- Nonfiction recommendation: Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces. A great book on the fundamental similarities of world mythology and their modern equivalents in comics, movies and television. Changed my perspective on a lot of things.
This doesn't mean don't talk about books you've enjoyed or would recommend to others in any other posts (please keep doing as you're doing, all the comments are great!), but several of you have mentioned that a more permanent place for recommending books would be nice, so here it is. 🙂
Teen readers and TPLers, post your recommends here as well!

i would recommend anything written by Neil Gaiman. He writes with such unique plots and characters that anyone that reads any of his books are amazed!

i would also recommend the Midshipwizard series. This series is like a cross between Harry Potter and the Adventures of Jacky Faber. It is really a great series to read, filled with magic, adventure, and DRAGONS 🙂

Another series i would recommend are the Guardians of Time series by Marianne Curley. It is really really good. Basically, it is about a prophecy and of time travelling to correct the invasions of the order of chaos. Wierd huh, the ORDER of CHAOS. This is a really good series and everyone should read this.

However, there is one series that completely rocks! It is called the Darkest Powers series and it is written by Kelly Armstrong. It is really cool. It is about a girl who discovers that she can see ghosts, but is sent to an asylum for shizophrenia. However, she discovers that she is a necromancer, and with the help of the other kids with powers there, she escapes. The first book leaves us with a GIANT cliffhanger, but the second book makes up for it. Everyone, i mean everyone, should read this book.

there is also a series for those who like the twilight series but thought them to be a bit simple. It is called the House of night series and it is written by P.C. and Kristin Cast. It is really for those who like magic, ancient goddesses and unique and interesting plot twists.

however, for me the only series that will remain completely in my heart forever is Harry Potter. Those who haven’t read it, READ IT!!!!! Don’t be turned off by the pages, there is a reason why it is so famous! Though i didn’t like the ending, (wanted more death, i know, i know, it’s emo) it is a really fascinating read, and everyone should read it.
P.s. those who don’t read it because they think witchcraft = hell, should really reseach modern day Wicca and Witchcraft, and compare it to their religion, see what you like.
p.p.s i don’t mean that your religion is bad, i just like the meanings behind wicca better, so forgive me please for being prejudiced.

The Hero with a Thousand Faces is a great book. I used it to write an essay in grade 9. It helped a lot. There is so much analysis of mythology and its relations to the modern world.

I’m really getting into anthology graphic novels. So currently I’ve been reading the Flight series and Out of Picture series. They’re both amazing- stories and art.

Daniela: You might enjoy “Briar Rose” by Jane Yolen, an unusual intertwining of the Sleeping Beauty story with a Holocaust setting.

“The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini, is an amazingly well-written and touching novel. I loved it, and though it is a heavy read, I would definitely reccomend this to anyone and everyone-this is one book that everyone must have read once in their lifetime.

I agree with the first post, Pride and Prejudice is definetely a great book. So is Twilight actually. :B. For those who’ve read the Oddysey for school, try The Penelopiad. It’s a terrific satire of the Oddysey.

I would highly recommend reading the Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare. The books are: City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass. This series would attract both genders! I just finished reading them. They’re really great!

I recommend Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. Also, if you haven’t already, a must-read is The Thief Lord, also by the same author.
The Twilight series are good too, if you like goth style books. Happy Reading!

Has anyone read “Identical”? I heard that it’s a really good book. I was thinking of borrowing that book, but there’s several holds.
Anyone have any good recommendations for teen romance novels? For girls? Thanks a lot.

I think Jane Eyre is a good book. Persuasion is also a good read. It’s about second chances at love and is written by Jane Austen. The book isn’t too long and is a good book to read if you just want to pass time.

Another great book is called Blood chocolate some people might know the title by the movie. but i’ve read the book and watched the movie. and i really liked both. It’s about a werewolf family and love and adventure really good, and there’s more than one book and it’s relatively short maybe 200pgs tops

i’ve read this book series that is amazing. It is about a boy, who by suffering the trauma of his father’s death gains a way to travel through time and change it accordingly. He takes the girl he like with him, and the ending is really sad. It’s still a very good series however, and it is called the TimeTrippers series by Stefan Petrucha.

I read Plain Janes! Its a graphic novel talking about four girls named Jane but they have different personalliteis. They only have two things in common: their names are Janes and they have a passion for art! I also read the sequel Janes In Love. Alan H: i read Briar Rose and thats like the Bones Series right? The Bones Series is very popular but i don’t think people read them anymore!

Hamdi: There’s a few books called “Briar Rose”–the one I recommended is by Jane Yolen. I’m not familiar with the Bones series, so I’m not sure how they compare.

Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle. It’s a book of three romantic Christmas tales, and they are sweet, funny and interconnected. It’s a nice contrast to the long summer months.

Domenic’s war is a great war book. I recommend it to anyone interested in historical fiction.

I also finished reading 1984 by George Orwell. It really gets you wondering how Mr.Orwell came up with his vision of our present/future. The ending is kind of depressing though.

I just have to say that I highly (emphasis on “highly”) recommend the book “Gone” by Michael Grant. It is an awesome book! The Gone series is my fave series EVER! The second book titled “Hunger” was released on May 16, 2009. Hunger is my fave book in the series. I hope you will consider my recommendation!

Whoops! When I said that the book “Hunger” in the Gone series was released on May 16, that was a typo. Hunger was atually released on May 26, 2009. Okay, I just thought i’d correct my mistake.

I loved The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Stephen Chbosky. It was very jarring and unreal – compared to my high school experience – it really gave me a lot of perspective. A stunning read for me seeing as how I prefer a lot of emotion and teenage conflict set agaisn’t the backdrop of everyday situations.

Hmmm. Im more of a person who reads titles or summarys–and Hero with 1000 faces sounds good.

Though you would have had to read the first books in the series to understand this one better. but trust me all the others are just as good

does anyone know the name of this book? My grade 6 teacher had read it out to us. It was about a girl and a boy – red-haired twins ( I think they’re orphans), who have a gift of telepathy. They collect rocks that aid them with telepathy(it was taught to them by someone). I really don’t remember much, but they live in this big house by a loch/ lake? and they hear creepy things trying to communicate to them from the lake. I think the name of the book was something like “Under the Mountain” or “Beneath the Mountain”. If anyone knows what this book might be called, please tell. Its bugging me to remember the name!

Never mind!!! I found it! My memory isn’t that bad after all! I feel dumb!I just had to google it, and there it was-“Under the Mountain”. There is a movie being made on it. Actually earlier when I’d asked a librarian about the book she had checked but she said TPl didn’t have this book, so I kept thinking that I’ve got the title wrong. Anyways I’ve found it nomw!

I’m currently reading an unauthorized biography of Rob Pattinson and I’m regretting more as I turn each page. The bio seems to have been written by a teen girl fan who is ROBSESSED!(sorry for the bad joke). I like Robert Patinson, but I would like to get a sane and an unbiased version of his biography.

I read some of the short stories from the book by William Bell called ” Just Some Stuff I Wrote.” I’ve realized that I enjoy reading short stories more than reading novels, because I can’t sit still for too long, unless, ofcourse, its a book from the Twilight saga!

I highly reccommend anything written by Roald Dahl! His writing tranports me to my childhood. Also check out his autobiography called “Boy.” He includes hilarious and fearsome tales of his childhood, and you can also see where he got the inspiration for some of his stories.

There are some books in the world that a person in their lifetime should have read atleast once, maybe because its so well-written, or maybe because its an enriching experience. “Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You” by Peter Cameron, is a book I think eveyrone should read, just because of its vivid quality. Cameron doesn’t use paragraphs of imagery, but his characters and their personalities are so very realistic, that you actually start believing that they exist.

You know it’s always the really good books that turn into movies. And for that i’m really glad but sometimes it’s better that they stay as books becuase either the movie makes the book look bad or the movie just plain doesn’t live up to the book which is quite dissapointing. Prime example for me is Twilight

I think everyone should read the classics, and by that I mean the Dickens’, Austen’s, Bronte’s, and of course all of Shakespeare’s works. I think all of those books have all the fundamental ideas that everyone will come across atleast once in their life. And because I love mysteries, I’d like to recommend any book by Agatha Christie, especially the Miss Marple stories.

for teen romance, i would try Timeless, a story about a girl who travels into the past and meets someone that she likes. There is also the Time Travellers series, whose plot is sort of similar. An author who writes really good teen romance is Meg Cabot. Oh, wait, there is a recent book i read called Reincarnation and it is amazing. It talks about how from the very beginning two people are reincarnating and they try to be together. These are some of the teen romance that i know. You should also try the Mango season though it is sort of like literature. There is some romance in the books written by Tamora Pierce, but it is mostly action like the series Kung-Fu Princess.

i read the plain janes and janes in love and i find the ideas in them really cool. Art is a form of expression and when the Janes use art, they use art to bring its influence into everyday’s life.

oh and i agree with what someone said about Roald Dahl. I love his books especially the one about Henry Sugar. To me, all of his books, like Matilda, the BFG, Danny the Champion of the World, the Witches, and the Twits are really really good. Not to mention his books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. There was also the rhyme books which were really funny in his original style. Though they are for children, his books are amazing and funny.

P.S. Just because they are for children, doesn’t mean that everyone can’t still read them so start reading Roald Dahl and laughing so hard that you cry.

I really want to read “So you want to be a wizard”. But I hope that it’s easier to understand, and shorter than Harry Potter. (Although I don’t read Harry Potter, I watch every single Harry Potter movie in the theaters.)

Alan H.: After reading your comment, i went to go get my Bone Book and i realized the character i thought you were talking about was Briar Harvestar! I guess Briar is a common name in books then in real life. And i looked up “Briar Rose” in Google and it said the Briar Rose is a another verision of sleeping beauty written by the Grimm Brothers! opps my mistake and i apologize for that!

I reccomend “The Sea Of Trolls” by Nancy Farmer. The sequel entitled “The Land of the Silver Apples” is also a great book. It may be slow at parts and have a lame title, but its pretty decent ad a great read for anyone who likes fantasy, magic, and mythology.

Another amazing novel is “Mortal Engines” by Philip Reeve. It is a sci-fi fantasy novel with a fast moving plot and relatable characters. It is very well written and unique . I strongly reccomend it to anyone looking for a new book.

For those into ancient greek, try reading a copy of the illiad or oddyseys. The oddysey has more travel and adventure and less fighting. The illiad is more fighting and blood. If you really like them, you should try to read the original copy by homer

hi there! 😀
so i guess i would recommend:
-Death Note (Tsugumi Obha)
a graphic novel that debates the question of justice in a controversial issue between two characters; and a twist of plot that always keeps you on the edge of your seat ;O
– Uglies trilogy (Scott Westerfeld)
sci-fi novel that takes place 300 years from now where the world is completely transformed. a new operation that turns you ‘pretty’ when you’re sixteen isn’t as great as it seems.
-Tuck Everlasting (Natalie Babbit)
a novel that questions eternal life leaving a character with the decision of living forever with the one she loves or walking away from it all.

@P: Yup! “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte is a very awesome book! While I was reading, I somehow developed a bit of a crush on Mr. Edward Rochester… (Who is, in my opinion, quite cooler than Edward Cullen, despite sharing the same first name. No offense to the Twilight fans.) XP
“The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak is a great WWII book that I’d recommend, especially for those who enjoy historical fiction novels. Told in the perspective of “Death”, the story follows a young tomboy-ish girl named Liesel. She’s German and Christian — not the typical WWII heroine — and her foster paren’ts taken in a persecuted Jewish man, whom they hide in their basement.
Both books are a great read, if not a little slow at the beginning. 🙂

i love “wuthering heights” by Emily bronte its like a messed up love triangle. cathy likes heathcliff but heathcliffs like the servant boy after the dad dies-beacsue tht’s how the brother treats him. and then cathy meets a guy who is respectable and all and gets married all while still loving heathcliff. and she was only happy when she died …its just messed up mistake mistake mistake-but thts what makes it so good.
im also a fan of “Romeo and Juliet” by shakesphaere another storyt bout forbidden love. 2 familys hate each other so much tht is causes them their children who fall in love.

I love Pride and Prejudice, one of my favourites by Jane Austen. The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is also very very very good. I love anything by Margaret Atwood, currently reading Alias Grace and it’s keeping me on the edge. The “Castaways of the Flying Dutchman” series was a childhood favourite that I read many many times.

You have to read Jane Austen. Her books are AMAZZZING!! Particularly Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. They are my favourite books by her. Also, Harry Potter. I know, I know, it sounds so childish and cheesy, and you’ll probably laugh when you read this, but I am not kidding, these books are AMAZZZING!!! No joke, it’s not like abra-kadabra, tacky, little kid spells, they are REALLY good books with an amazing story line. The longer you read them (particularly when you get to “The Goblet of Fire” and the books after) the more you’ll like them. And then you’ll be sad they’re over. And let me just say, for those who have seen the movies, although they are really good, the books are a million times better.

The longer you read them (particularly when you get to “The Goblet of Fire” and the books after) the more you’ll like them. And then you’ll be sad they’re over. And let me just say, for those who have seen the movies, although they are really good, the books are a million times better.
Oh, and Inkheart series are really good too. Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath, by Cornelia Funke. And, you have to read “Journey to the Center of the Earth” by Jules Verne. Amazing, spectacular book.

The book “Jinx” by Meg Cabot is also really good. I really enjoyed reading it. The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld is also a very good series that takes place in the future where everything has changed drastically. If you like books about romance then you will like The Immortals series by Alyson Noel. The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson is about a group of supernatural teens.
TTYL 😉

I would recommend “shoot the moon” by Billie Letts and “does my head look big in this” by Randa Abdel-Fattah.

” Does my head look big in this” is a great book that i have read over 5 times. Really exciting book that i couldn’t put down. The author basically talking about the religion “Islam” and how girls in schools get affected and hurt when others talk about the Hijab and how covering up for the girls is part of a huge deal in Islam. Muslim teenage girls and women get insulted alot in wearing the hijab and often get called as a terriost when wearing a Niqa’ab(Face cover that women often wear) .The author not only expressed deeply but inspired Muslim girls out there. The book is a really beautiful and peaceful book that i encourage anyone to read!
P.S Keep on Reading

“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is also a fantastic one. We studied it at school, and even with the homework assignments, etc. I still thought it was a very inspirational book.
It teaches a lot about racism, prejudices, innocence, and much more. I love Scout and Atticus Finch — they are such amazing characters.
The court scene is the best part of the entire story!! 😀
