I’m 14 and I love these books!
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
The book is about a 12-year-old girl named Meggie Folchart whose life changes dramatically when she realizes that her father, a bookbinder named Mortimer (Mo), has an unusual ability: when he reads aloud, he can bring characters from books into the real world. Meggie and Mo's adventure takes them throughout Europe, particularly Italy, and brings them into contact with many unusual characters. Really good
Maximum Ride by James Patterson
The book is set in the near future and centers around the 'Flock', a group of human-avian hybrids (98% Human 2% Bird) on the run from the scientists who created them. It focuses on Maximum Ride (Max), the leader of the 'flock', and the narrator of the story.
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Artemis Fowl is a series of fantasy novels written by Irish author Eoin Colfer, starring the teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl II. The series is written in half-serious language, alternating dark moments with humorous ones, a style favored by a number of popular children's authors.
Artemis, the main character, is a ruthless and extremely intelligent young criminal whose main goal is the acquisition of money through a variety of often-illegal schemes (although his values change towards the fifth book). The author summed up the series as: "Die Hard with fairies."[
First shot by Walter Sorrells
Two things that Dave is certain of are that his mom was killed two years ago and that his dad does not seem to care. He never suspects that his dad could have killed her until he follows his dad one dark stormy night and watches as his father buries something that looks suspiciously like a rifle. Dave is still reluctant to admit to anyone that his father killed his mother, and it is not until next spring that Dave finally admits to the police in his hometown what he saw that night. The story, told through Dave’s first person account, twists and turns and spans several months and the events reveal lies and cover-ups of families that attended the private school that Dave’s father is headmaster at. Over the course of the novel, Dave is able to prove his father’s innocence and even manages to create a closer relationship with his father. While the story itself is intriguing, the novel ends without conclusively proving who kills Dave’s mother, which can leave the reader feeling a bit disappointed, but the colorful cast of characters make the novel an intriguing read nonetheless.
