Question

For a book report, we need a book written from 1980- present day. It can't be part of a series, it can't have been made into a movie, and it can't be a short story. Oh yeah, and it needs to be 200 pages or more. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Nina Kimberly the Merciless by Christiana Ellis 
Dragons' Truth by Teel McClanahan III 

Unwind by Neil Shusterman is good too but it doesn't have a free pdf nor a podcast

With A Silent Companion, by Florida Town. It's based on a true story, hasn't been made into a movie (yet) and it's a good read. Amazon.com has it.

You could try Rock Paper Tiger.  I don't know exactly how long it is, but it could make for an interesting book report.

FYI, there is a lot of adult language and some very um...ah-hem...content.  So if you're under seventeen please check with your parents before you pick this one up.
