Gabriel, 14 - Harry potter and the half blooded prince by J. K. Rowling

John, 12 - The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

Robin, 13 - Looking for JJ by Anne Cassidy
- Great book.
Tish, 13 - Luna - A Novel by Julie Anne Peters
- Critically Acclaimed author Julie Anne Peters really shows the other side of being a teenager and being transsexual. Being transsexual myself i find that she captures what it feels like to be transsexual. I found it very interesting and a fantastic read and would give it high reccommendations.
Jennifer, 16 - Cross Tides by Lorraine Orman
- i found it quite interesting to read. She really put in some effort to make this story a bit interesting and i am sure that other young teenagers will enjoy reading this book! You go girl!
