<p>I have a summer assignment for school, which is to read 1 book of your choice (has to be for your age and around 150-400 pages).</p>
<p>I like sports and adventure books. </p>
<p>With that being said, does anybody have any recommendations? Please don't give me any ridiculously long books because I have to study for ACTs and complete summer AP assignments.</p>
<p>Ender’s Game is a good novel. It’s science fiction, really interesting, and my freshman English teacher made it extra credit reading. </p>
<p>I enjoyed every word. It’s a little long, but worth it and it’s an easy read - no hard vocab. :p.</p>
<p>^ Seconded.</p>
<p>Anything by John Green… maybe Looking for Alaska?</p>
<p>The Outsiders?</p>
<p>Something by Susan Beth Pfeffer like Life As We Knew It? </p>
<p>Life As We Knew It was a pretty quick read for me. I finished it in a day. It’s kind of a Sci-Fi book that is about an apocalyptic event and how it effects the life of this girl, Miranda, and her family.</p>
<p>Currently reading The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time By Mark Haddon. Really enjoying it.</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby. It’s not that long, and it’s definitely at a high school level. It’s a good book.</p>
<p>Read the Hunger Games! I could not put down the book until I finished it!! At least search it up on google. This is being turned into a movie it’s going to be the next big thing!</p>
<p>Ctrl + F The Count of Monte Cristo NOT FOUND</p>
<p>Step up HSL.</p>
<p>HAHA, Ender’s Game… Brings back some memories, That is the ONLY good one in that series though… ahhh to be back in 7th grade (:</p>
<p>Srry, dblpost, BTW I’m reading Crime and Punishment right now if that helps. (going into 10th if that helps also???)</p>
<p>ANYTHING JODI PICOULT.
Love her.</p>
<p>Jon Krakauer.
I’m reading his books for summer reading.
His books are really good.</p>
<p>Into Thin Air is about him climbing Mount Everest.</p>
<p>Into The Wild is about a man going into Alaskan wilderness alone.</p>
<p>I just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It’s not typical high school reading material, but it’s almost six hundred pages and a fantastic read!</p>
<p>I second anything by Jon Krakauer. Fantastic author. The Count of Monte Cristo is also fairly interesting. I enjoyed The Great Gatsby, which is a good idea if you want to read something short.</p>
<p>The Alchemist is pretty awesome if you’re into sort of philosophical, spiritual stuff.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is great if you’re into satirical sci-fi.
those are my top books right now anyways :D</p>
