I just took a NWEA test (MAP test) and found out my Lexile Range. I am in 7th grade and my lexile range is 1327-1477. I would like to read books that are challenging to me and I can understand and comprehend as well as enjoy the book. I am interested in Mystery, Science Fiction, Action, Suspense, and slight horror (remember that I am only in 7th grade so ones that are appropriate to me). ***Keep in mind that I am only in 7th grade, so the books need to be appropriate for me. I don't like books that are too mature or too romantic. I also liek fiction books and fantasy. I also like biology, botany, marine biology, ocean and waters, photography, and drawing. If anybody can help me find some books that I can read, that'd be great. I need to choose a few books. Right now I am reading War and Peace, so after I finish that, I'd really appreciate if anybody can give me a few book titles for me to read. Thank you for everybody's help in advance. I will try any suggestions you give me.
 
Try the Robyn Hunter Mystery series by Norah McClintock... she's a great mystery author for young adult's/teens.
 
Catcher in the Rye is good, and filled with sarcasm and angst. One of my favorites. 1985 is also fantastic. Both of those are required reading in a lot of schools.
 
Like Wate for Chocolate
Girl with a Pearl Earring
Agatha Christie mysteries. Her sleuths include Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Miss Marple is my fav.

Some great fantasy books are anything by R. A. Salvatore (The Dark Elf Trilogy; The Icewind Dale Trilogy), and Neil Gaiman (try "Neverwhere").

My favourite mystery series is Laurie R. King's Mary Russell books. She pairs Sherlock Holmes in his later years with a young female partner. King masterfully explores early feminism in an authentic historical context while also preserving the classic Holmes. Her plots are exotic and adventurous and all-around great mystery! The first book is called "The Beekeeper's Apprentice". If you like it, you will love the rest of the series!
