So in English, every term we have to read 2 books. Write book reports for them, and do a presentation on one of them. I want some ideas for which books I should read!And our middle school is competing with other schools nearby to see if we can get the most students to read 25+ books in a year 😊 It's a piece of cake for me - but I dunno what to read o3oSo gimme some titles and their authors. And BTW - no anime. And they should be at a reading level for about a high schooler 😉Edit:Please don't tell me to read these books - I have read them or have chose just to stay away from that series 😊Harry PotterThe Hunger GamesWarriors (or other Erin Hunter Stuff)

@whispersthe Alex Rider seriesIn English, WE have to read enough to get so many points by taking quizzes on the books. We must read a nonfiction as well to add to those points.

The Warrior series are actually somewhat boring and poorly written compared to some novels I've read.I just finished The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. God, it's such a good science fiction novel!I'm planning on reading The Maze Runner and The False Prince. And possibly Heir Apparent. (Sorry, I don't know any of their authors)

@whispers - If you're into fantasy at all, trying reading the Legend of Drizzt (13 books total for that) by R.A. Salvator (Book 1 is Homeland)I read that series last year, one book a week. 😋 It also has a ton of other books with it, after that series (goes on to The Hunter's Blades Trilogy, The Sellswords trilogy, and a bunch of others) 😊
whispers • 18 October 2012 at 10:42 AM
@vampire666What exactly is the plot about? 😊
vampire666 • 18 October 2012 at 9:04 PM
@whispers - The series revolves around a Dark Elf named Drizzt Do'Urden and it follows his life from birth to the present books (The Neverwinter Series), which is set approximately two hundred years after his birth. It's hard to keep track of his age though. 😋 Each book has a new adventure. Usually I get bored of book series' after three or four books, but I seriously couldn't get enough of this one. 😊

@whispersRead 'The Alchemenst' by Micheal Scott. It's the first in a really awsome series. o3oOr maybe 'Tiger's Curse'... (the author slipped my mind... XD)
vespira • 20 October 2012 at 6:27 AM
@whispers I would recommend:Les Miserables by Victor HugoFly by Night and Fly Trap (book 1 and 2 respectively) by Frances HardingeThe Tygrine Cat and The Tygrine Cat: On the Run (book 1 and 2 respectively) by Inbali IserlesThe Redwall Series by Brian Jacques (Warning, there's a lot of books. I mean a LOT.)Well, that's all I could think of.😊I would have also said Harry Potter or Warriors since I read both and loved them, but you already said not to.XDThe Hunger Games however, I choose to stay away from. I never liked it.=/

@whispersFablehaven series by Brandon mull 8D
whispers • 20 October 2012 at 5:10 PM
@dragoniiMy RL bud has been pressuring me to read that series, and I probably will xD@charm556I think I've heard of the Redwall serios 😊
mib666666 • 20 October 2012 at 5:12 PM
@whispers right now I am reading the outsiders for school and harry potter 7 for the fourth time 😸
dragonii • 20 October 2012 at 6:33 PM
@whispersits a really fun series 8)) so i can see why XD
Deleted • 20 October 2012 at 8:20 PM
@whispers - samee BCMS is doing that as well... but it's this whole Genre Passport thing... You should read "At Risk" by Alice Hoffman or "Esperanza Rising" if you haven't already by Pam Munoz Ryan.@mib666666 -samee we're doing this whole thing on the Outsiders... I wonder if its like a Country wide thing with Common Core?
ice2505 • 20 October 2012 at 8:23 PM
@whispersThe gone series is AMAZING! The beginning of the first book is a little slow...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_2IwcUUfGI this is an ok trailer for it..I guess. 😋
kaplooosh • 20 October 2012 at 9:00 PM
The Outsiders by S.E. HintonPeter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley PearsonTouching Spirit Bear by Ben MikaelsenNight by Eli Weisel (about the Holocaust)The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. SalingerSlaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut (i read this my junior year, but I'm not sure if it's completely appropriate for middle school?)Grendel by John Gardner (same as Slaughterhouse..)hope this helps!
whispers • 20 October 2012 at 9:00 PM
@fluffyI would assume you guys are doing something similar .__.I just finished Pam Munoz Ryan's "Paint the Wind". It was good, so I'll read "Esperanza Rising" too 😊 @ice2505My BFF is reading that and she is telling me to read it (she tells me to read a A LOT of things 'cause she's a bookaholic) B)
