<p>My absolute favorite books when I was 14 (only 2 yrs ago!) were Mortal Engines and Predator’s Gold by Philip Reeve. They are fantasy, but also so much more. The world that he creates is amazing, the characters are developed wonderfully and there is a lovely romance. </p>

<p>I can vouch for Lucas by Kevin Brooks. It was good. </p>

<p>I second the Birth of Venus. I read it at 14, but there were definite adult themes so be aware. </p>

<p>Angus, Thongs & Full-Frontal Snogging is beyond hilarious. </p>

<p>The Giver remains one of my favorite books, it is so beautiful.</p>

<p>Julia Alvarez’s books are great for this age-- How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, Before We Were Free, and Finding Miracles</p>

<p>Wish You Were Here by Barbara Shoup</p>

<p>i’m 17 and when i was a freshman in high school i found my love of teen romance novels. to this day i can’t get enough of them. i started out by reading the sisterhood of the traveling pants novels. i really enjoyed them. also, i insist on looking into rachel hawthorne! shes probably my favorite author at the moment. i usually get so wrapped up in her books that i can almost always finish her 300+ page novels in less than a day.</p>

<p>oh another book i just thought of that i really enjoyed reading was Two-way Street by Lauren Barnholdt. i’ll probably read it again one of these days</p>
