I undrstand how hard it can be to choose a book. With the mass amount out there it can be quite daunting to find just the right book. So I'm going to try and help narrow down the search a little bit.

__Teen Fiction Book List__ For thoes who are fan's of the Fantasy/ Sci-fi Type there are some easy to read and exciting book options
 * The Women of The Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. Follow this link to her website for full lists and summaries. [|www.kelleyarmstrong.com] . Please note that this series is not yet finished, and that there are currently 11 books in the series.
 * Also by Kelley Armstrong The Darkest Powers Trilogy. These books are more teen fiction-ey than her Otherworld series and it's finshed.
 * The Percy Jackson series is a cross over series in my opinion. It has been classified in Teen Fiction and in the higher end of Childrens Fiction. But I believe that it can be enjoyed by both, It all depends on reading strenghts.
 * Being by Kevin Brooks
 * The Immortal Instruments Trilogy. The First being the City of Bones, followed by City of Ashes and finshed by City of Glass. These books fall to the end of the Teen Lit. scope. It has some adult themes but remains Teen via the characters ages and levels of development.

For thoes who enjoy Non-Fiction here are a few idea's.
 * [|The Book of Awesome]by Neil Pasricha. This book was spawned from his website 1000 Awesome Things. It's a lits of sorts describing the little things that happen to us that are just AWESOME! Great for people who want an easy to read book that doesn't require you to remember anyone's name or crazy details.
 * [|Prisoner of Tehran]by Marina Nemat. This book tells us the true story of one woman's amazing journey of survival. From her time as a political prisoner to a forced marriage. This book will give you an insight into a world most of us can only imagine. This book has some adult themes so it would fall more towards the end of the end of the Teen Lit. Scale.

__Here are some more recommendations:__

Picture Perfect By:Elaine Marie Alphin

I loved this book, I read it when I was in middle school and I've never forgotten it. I love the unexpected yet obvious antagonist. The surprising revelations about the characters and the great portrail of a person with multiple personality disorder. When you can't trust anyone and you start to distrust yourself, how can you begin to save to people closet to you? I would deffently give this book a read. It's a quick read with a easy to follow plot but some surprising twists to keep it interesting.

[|The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Series] By: Heather Brewer

This is a series that falls perfectly into this category of interesting easy to read Teen Lit., its likeable, yet flawed Protagonist appeals to most. The huge boom right now is paranormal themed novels and this is one of them. The novel centers on teen vampire Vladimir (Vlad) Tod, a boy born of a vampire father and a human mother. This book is geared toward boys, with its male main character and male narration, this fact is obvious. I find that as a girl this is completely refreshing, I get sick and tired of the same cookie cutter “Girl” books. So for those who are looking for a … change of voice, a paranormal theme, and of course a teen centered novel then look no further.

What makes this book so interesting, yet easy to read is the concrete plot line. The story doesn’t really deviate so you’re never left wondering what he hell is going on but your not going to be bored either. The novel doses have some surprises up its pages (insert pity laugh here). It keeps us interested because it always feels like there’s something that we don’t know, just one piece of the puzzle that’s out of reach and it’s that which makes a book interesting, yet east to digest. No story line plot holes that you could drive a Mac Truck through yet enough mystery to keep you entertained. I’d recommend this book to someone who is read to try something new; a paranormal novel that’s main plot isn’t romance and doesn’t cater to the stereotype.
