well for one thing...Harry Potter. Thats one of my favorite series. If you haven't already read them, sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of my favorite books ever is cobwebs, by karen young...thats awesome. also, the dueling princes, stealing princes, pulling princes set...i love those. One of those hideous books where the mother dies (yes, thats the title) i love that book, i've read it like 6 times. all of those are great...i hope there's at least a few you haven't read here! this is exactly what i told someone else, idk if you read that, but if you did, thats why it looks familiar :)

Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger\nZen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance by Robert Pirsig\nThe Chosen by Chaim Potok...\n\n\n"make sure it's something that a high schooler should be reading"\n\na 'high schooler' should be reading everything under the sun....What exactly shouldn't you be reading?.\nWhy would anyone censor what a teenager reads?\nBesides Hard core porn, possibly...

My favorite~Half Magic by Edgar Eager~\nThree kids find a magic coin during their summer vacation. The coin grants their wishes BUT only by half~It is a wonderful summer read.\n\nGolden Compass or Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman ~ If you like Harry Potter, try these~~~\n\nDr. Franklin's Island by Ann Halam~\nA plane crashes on the way to a wildlife conservation station deep in the rain forests of Ecuador. Semi, Miranda, and Arnie are the only survivors. They are stranded on what seems to be a deserted island, with only the little food and water they could find. They are unaware of being watched by a mad scientist eager to use them as his first human specimens in genetic engineering. His experiments cause them to experience the world in a whole new way... as animals!\n\nAlice in Wonderland by Louis Carroll~classic fantasy~

For a Young Adult Fiction book to be my favorite, it would have to be "deep." Watership Down by Richard Adams is excellent. I've enjoyed YA for years even though I'm not a young adult myself.\n\nHow about "Girl, 15, Charming but Insane" by Sue Limb? It's part one of a planned trilogy. On Amazon it's got a 5 star rating.

You need to find something that is enjoyable to read, of course.  \n\nTHE SECRET DIARY OF ADRIAN MOLE is good and can be consumed in bite sized chunks.\n\nQuerky things that are fun but also proper reading.\nJames Herbert's FLUKE is a good read for a child and it has the "cool" factor of being written by a horror writer even though it's the first person narration of a dog.\n\nAnother tack could be game-like books. The Fighting Fantasy series of game books are like novels but with multiple story lines which you have to play to read making the combination of reading and pleasure interreliant.

Try R.L.Stine books and I don't mean the Goosebump ones. \nI have a few I picked up in a New & Used bookstore near me. \nThey are located in the Teen section not the children's.\nI'm much older than you and I enjoyed them.

I have. It's a good book. Honestly, few books I read in high school were so good as it. Possibly "The Great Gatsby" or "Catcher in the Rye", but that's it.

Well, that depends a lot on what else you're looking for in  a book.  If you want some romantic overlays, Nora Roberts  has the Three Sisters Trilogy about witches in New England, and another trio about Celtic Gods and Goddesses, Tears of the Moon is the only title that comes to mind.  Mercedes Lackey does some nice Gothic type magic stories, usually listed under sci-fi/fantasy, and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has a series with Godmother in the title -- great takes on fairy tales.\n\nAs far as more DIY style books relating to magic, Silver Ravenwolf does some nice stuff, To Ride a Silver Broomstick is a great primer.  Anything by Scott Cunningham is very informative -- more reference than practice.\n\nMystery?  You can't go wrong with Elizabeth Peters, check out the Amelia Peabody series.  There are about 15 books relating to the adventures of this Victorian Egyptologist.\n\nAnd just for a good, funny read -- Terry Pratchett.  The Discworld series is fantastic -- magic is part of pretty much all the stories, and there's usually some mystery to be solved.  Try The Witches Abroad.

They don't have to be African American books. You could just find out what she is interested in and find books in that area for her reading level. I found that this way works better because the student wants to learn more about what they like.
