Hey guys. I have a book report, and I'm looking for reccommendations for books. I love the Twilight series, but I don't want to read another book about vampires. Any ideas?

Your first 3 are ones I had in mind. Neil Peart reads tons of Science fiction which is where a lot of the lyrics come from. Here are a few: You Can't judge a book by it's Cover Stevie Wonder Book of Saturday King Crimson Pressed In a Book The Shins Sh**t From an Old Notebook Minutemen Hope it helps!

The chocolate War by Robert Cormier, very good, also has a sequel called Beyond the Chocolate War
A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass
it is directed at 13 year olds but I read it when I was 17 and still thought it was a good book.

I agree. A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Maas is such a great read. It's a great pick for a report.
Other than that, maybe...

it is a beautiful story and very gripping

Try Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. A very dark tale - historical fiction - about a traveling circus during the depression. Possibly my favorite modern day novel. It will give you loads to talk about.
