answers1: Hmm... have you read...Doing It by Melvin Burgess? <br>
It is a controversial teenage novel written in the perspectives of
three male teenagers. You might like it...it is worth a shot, ey?
answers2: Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell was the best
book that I read while I was a teen, one that I'll never forget! <br>
<br>
Try it!
answers3: "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx <br>
<br>
What's a "teen book" anyways? I read Marx as a teen, so it must be a
teen book, right?
answers4: Deadline by Chris Crutcher <br>
The Sledding Hill by Chris Crutcher <br>
Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher <br>
Stotan by by Chris Crutcher <br>
Chinese Handcuffs by Chris Crutcher <br>
The Crazy Horse Electric Game by Chris Crutcher <br>
Running Loose by Chris Crutcher <br>
Ironman by Chris Crutcher <br>

Athletic Shorts (book of short stories) by Chris Crutcher <br>
Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher <br>
Skate by Michael Harmon <br>
King Dork by Frank Portman <br>
Maxium Ride series by James Patterson *When the Wind Blows and
Lakehouse same concept but not same story* <br>
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (4 book series but the last 3 don't
really follow Ender's story so I was a little disappointed but they're
still good books) <br>
Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card (4 book companion series, all four
books follow Bean's story, and really good books) <br>
Catalyst by Laurie Haulse Anderson <br>
Speak by Laurie Haulse Anderson <br>
<br>
These are all books that I've read and really enjoyed. They're good
books for either gender but they're also something that males can
really get into. Most of them fall in the "realistic fiction" genre
but there a couple that would fall in the sci-fi/fanasty genre. Those
books are pretty action packed which is why I listed them. Chris
Crutcher's books pretty much all involve some type of sporting events
but the characters are also very real. They books also deal with real
issues that teens deal with which is why they get banned so often.
Hope the list will at least give you a few options to look into. <br>
answers5: -Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz (the first book in the
Alex Rider series) is a great Adventure spy book with a teenage spy
who has to go into dangerous missions around the world and figure out
what's going on. Blurb on the back of the book: <br>
<br>
They told him his uncle died in an accident. He wasn't wearing his
seatbelt, they said. But when fourteen-year-old Alex finds his uncle's
windshield riddled with bullet holes, he knows it was no accident.
What he doesn't know yet is that his uncle was killed while on a
top-secret mission. But he is about to, and once he does, there is no
turning back. Finding himself in the middle of terrorists, Alex must
outsmart the people who want him dead. The government has given him
the technology, but only he can provide the courage. Should he fail,
every child in England will be murdered in cold blood. <br>
<br>
The first in the Alex Rider series by British writer Anthony Horowitz,
Stormbreaker will have pulses racing from start to finish. <br>
<br>
-'Tomorrow when the war began' by John Marsden which is about a group
of teenagers who go camping for a while in the holidays, and when they
return home, they find their whole town captured and that they are at
war. All telephone lines have been cut and there is no way out of the
town without facing thousands of guards. They are the town's only hope
to freedom. It's really moving to see what they have to go through
(people die, become injured and captured, and they still have to keep
fighting!) Blurb on back of the book: <br>
<br>
Ellie and her friends leave home one quiet morning, wave goodbye to
their parents and head up to the hills to camp out for a while; seven
teenagers filling in time during the school holidays. <br>
<br>
The world is about to change forever. Their lives will never be the
same again. <br>
<br>
Would you fight? Would you give up everything? Would you sacrafice
even life itself? <br>
<br>
Tomorrow when the war began asks the biggest questions you will ever
have to answer. <br>
<br>
-Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett. Blurb on the back of the book: On a
warm October night in Chicago, three deliveries were made in the same
neighbourhood. A plump tangereen moon had just risen over Lake
Michigan. The doorbell had been rung at each place, and an envelope
propped outside...The same letter went out to all three: <br>
<br>
Dear Friend, <br>
I would like your help in identifying a crime that is now centuries
old. This crime has wronged one of the world's greatest painters. As
those in positions of authority are not brave enough to correct this
error, I have taken it upon myself to reveal the truth. I have chosen
you because of your discriminating eye, your intelligence, and your
ability to think outside of convention...Although you may never meet,
the three of you will work together in ways none of us can predict. If
you show this to the authorities, you will most certainly be placing
your life in danger... <br>
<br>
The letter was not signed, and it had no return address. <br>
<br>
Anyway, those are some of my favourite books. I hope I helped! <br>
<br>
(also, I'm not sure if you'll like this- It varies with different
people, but I would highly recommend Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
Here's the blurb so you can see what it's about (also note: It's one
of the top 20 books in the bookstores at the moment and one of the top
50 books in 'books you can't put down' list): <br>
<br>
About three things I was absolutely positive. <br>
First, Edward was a vampire. <br>
Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that
part might be - that thirsted for my blood. <br>
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. <br>
<br>
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks, and meets the
mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and
terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing
voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and
impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity
hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret. <br>
<br>
What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the
more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And it might
be too late to turn back... <br>
<br>
Deeply seductive, and irresistibly compelling, the book 'Twilight' is
an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you
have turned the final page.)
