What are some teen novels that aren't part of a series?

Most of the books that I read are in a series, but some that come to mind are Brain Jack, by Brian Faulkner; and, The House of the Scorpions, (I forget who this is by). If you change your mind about reading books in a series, you could try reading Switched, by Amanda Hocking (beware of atrocious editorial mistakes in the second edition); Ender's Game, (I forget who this is by also :3); or, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. The last two books have a sci-fi twist on them and I'm not sure if you like sci-fi, but they are still really good. Though they are part of a series, I haven't read the other books that come after it and there are no cliff-hangers if that's what you are trying to avoid. They also aren't really classified as books for teenagers and would be found in the adult section, but are still easy reads. I'm fifteen years old, so I should know! Hope this helps and happy reading!

The Catcher In The Rye by J D Salinger

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

:D Good luck!

Some personal favourites of mine.

I'm going to name ones that haven't been mentioned.

Try Ballads of Suburbia or I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone - they're both by Stephanie Kuehnert

There's also Brave New Girl by Louisa Luna and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

The Running Dream by:Wendelin Van Draanen that book is REALLY good.

Most of Wendelin Van Draanen's books are good :D

Try Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole and its sequel Nokosee & Stormy: Love & Bullets. Both are contemporary "pre-dystopian" books where the world is on the tipping point of environmental collapse written from a 17-year-old girl's POV. They come with lots of action and adventure and Stormy Jones, the girl in the stories, is a character that will stick with you for a long time. She's far from perfect but she's real enough to want to love her and pull for her during her life on the run with Nokosee.

Cherry by Mary Karr. A memoir about teens, sex, drugs and growing up in rural Texas as told through the gritty, beautiful prose of one of America's best writers having taught at Harvard and currently teaching as the Peck Professor of English Literature at Syracuse University. It's a book every teen girl should read. If the opening paragraph doesn't do it for you, nothing will. On June 5, 2012, she released her first music CD as a co-writer with Rodney Crowel called "Kin."

The Liar's Club by Mary Karr. Another moving memoir recounting her earlier years (you should probably read this one first and then Cherry).

Jennifer Miller’s just released debut novel The Year of the Gadfly is a tale of prep school scandal and secret societies starring a very precocious 15-year-old young lady named Iris Dupont, whose best and only friend is the chain-smoking ghost of famed broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow. If it sounds weirdly wonderful, it is – Iris would kill us for using a cliché here, but we can’t help but call the novel compulsively readable, and it feels a little something like a cross between The Secret History and Gossip Girl, although with significantly more masturbation scenes than the former and more dusty tomes than the latter. As reviewed by Emily Temple, Flavorwire

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. A moving story inspired by true events about the suicides of five teenage sisters as told from the viewpoint (for the most part) of randy teenage boys who try to explain it all.

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden by Joanne Greenberg. A critically appraised and touching semi-autobiographical story of a 16-year-old girl battling schizophrenia in a mental hospital.

Bohemian Girl by Terese Svoboda. This is Huck Finn with a girl as the protagonist (and a voice as unique as Huck's which is even more remarkable since it's a book that's just been released) set in the 1860's west. The story begins when 12-year-old Harriet is sold by her father to an Indian to settle a gambling debt. When she escapes the strange mound-building obsession of her Pawnee captor, Harriet sets off on a trek to find her father, only to meet with ever-stranger characters and situations along the way. She escapes with a chanteuse, is imprisoned in a stockade and rescued by a Civil War balloonist, and becomes an accidental shopkeeper and the surrogate mother to an abandoned child, while abetting the escape of runaway slaves.

The Adults by Alison Espach is the "defining novel for recovering debutantes from Connecticut. The novel is narrated by Emily, a high school freshman, who grows up in the privileged world of investment bank commuters and desperate housewives. Her padded life suddenly unravels when she wakes early one morning after a sleepover, and looks out her kitchen window to witness her neighbor’s suicide. Meanwhile, her classmates provide anything but comfort (i.e. The fat girl in class gets nicknamed ABOB, which stands for “Annie The Bird or Bear” because nobody can decide if her nose makes her a bird, or if her fat makes her a bear). Satire, obviously. But amidst the byzantine cruelty only privileged high schoolers are capable of, grace is found in the secret, illicit relationship that develops between Emily and her English teacher. Espach never excuses the relationship, but she never indicts it either. Amidst a world of cheese platters and art auctions, their relationship simply surfaces as something real while everything else in Emily’s world just seems sterilized... (This is) white girl fiction.” by Geoff Max for Flavorwire.
