good books to read in high school?

13 little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson --that was a very good book

Holes by Louis Sachar --that was also a good book. I read the book before the movie came out. I was reading this during Hurricane Isabel. My mom had picked it up when I wasn't reading it. When I wanted to read it again, she didn't want to put it down. She wanted to rip the book in half so she could keep reading, and so she could shut me up. lol. and no, I wouldn't let her do that. I don't remember who go the book though.....

Secret life of the Bees by Sue Monk Kidd --that I read way before the movie came out. very good book.

The Blue Mirror by Kathe Koja----I skipped gym class in high school to finish this one =)

Hate You by Graham McNamee-----I skipped gym class again to finish this one

Med Center by Diane Hoh----this is a very addicting series.

The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett---I watched that movie so many times as a little girl, but the book was just as addicting. I loved it. I had this book in my history book when I should have been studying for finals back in the 10th grade.

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks-----I cried so hard while reading this that my mom was telling me to just stop reading it. But I didn't. I just couldn't. I personally hate the movie. They changed some things that just contradicted things in the book

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton ---this may have been on a school's reading list you have had or may have....but it's one of my favorite books to read. One of my friends use to love reading this over and over again in class in the 7th grade. And she'd just burst into tears. And my teacher would be like...'Taylor, It's just a verb...oh, not that book again.'

Waiting for Sarah by Bruce McBay-----also a very good book. I read this during class.

A Well-Timed Enchantment by Vivian Vande Velde-----I happen to love a lot of her books. Such as Companions of the Night---my all time favorite book.

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell ---It's a classic =)

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte ----Also a very good classic. It was a 10th grade book. I listened to it on disk. But I've read it many times since then.

Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld --that's a good series.

Uglies by scott westerfeld ---another good series

All American girl by Meg Cabot---I loved this book so much, I took it with me to a school assembly. I didn’t care if I got stares =p

Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber---I love this series =)

Lord of the Flies by William Golding----It was a 10th grade school book. I loved it. I have read it over again.

The Stand by Stephen King---Very good book

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald---I read this fairly quickly. I loved it.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen----Another classic

I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan----I stayed up all night on a school night finishing this. Couldn't put it down.

My Dog Skip by Willie Morris-----I have not read this, but I saw the movie. Books are always better though, right? It was the first movie I ever cried at, and it was in a movie theater.

=)

I dont know if this is the kinda thing you mean but 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D Salingar is an amazing book.

I read it teh first time when I was 13, and I still read it to get my mind going again (I'm 19 now). Its just one of those books that really draws you in and you become immersed it the story-tellers life and thoughts.

It helped me realize not to care so much about trying to fit in all the time. I started to see the comedy in the cliques at school. I cant relly explain it to you, but its one of those books you either click with or you dont but if you do, it stays with you.

@Hippie Chick: those books are more for seniors and up people.idk my opinion.

ok my summer of sophomore year i read, Dreamland Sarah Dessen..any book for Sarah Dessen is great at your age.

The witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho..it's a bit more serious and it's hard to follow at the beginning but you get the hang of it eventually.

Jodie Picoult's books are also good

Twilight,i loved reading when i was a sophomore it's the best age to read it and harry potter is awesome.

Does my head look big in this

Sold

kite runner that is my favorite book

any nicholas sparks books too

ENJOY

I can't remember the author's so you would have to look them up. I'm sure it won't be too hard to do that.

The catcher in the rye

The great Gatzby

Heart of Darkness

The wasteland

poisonwood bible

The scarlet letter

Their eyes were watching God

The crucible

The knife of never letting go, The ask and the answer

Lord of the Rings by Tolken if you haven't read them-- the best one is The Hobbit in my opinion

I'm reading The Naming by Alison Groggon and so far it's pretty good

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis are very good-- much better than their movies

No matter what they say, Twilight really sucks so don't bother with it unless you think a girl falling in love with a vampire because he wants to eat her is a wonderful story...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Series by Ann Brashares.

I am addicted!
