A great romance/adventure series is The Mortal Instuments (the first book is City of Bones).

im a teen myself. i read the clique books/series! and the uglies, pretties, specials, and the extras. (thts also a series) u could read nancy drew if ur into mysteries. but the books i wrote above our about everyday teenage life! the twilight series is good too.

Maximum Ride by James Patterson

Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer

all Meg Cabot books

Sarah Dessen books....

That's all I have. Hope I helped! ;) enjoy reading!

For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot's young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.

If you want more info or the authors website's email me.
