Recommendations of good novels to read?

I loved the Nancy Drew books when I was a kid. And those Goosebump books are pretty good too.

Usually, they separate out their bestsellers in each section, so you could peruse through those as well and get more ideas. There's a ton of books out there in YA land that I'm sure not all of us know of or have read, so what better place than a bookstore to find more books, right? ;D

I think that's a great idea. The titles/authors I'm recommending for young adults are things I enjoyed a decade ago as a teenager. I'm sure there's tons of great, more current stuff out there to read too. I have read a lot of kid books this year, but not so much young adult romance cause most of it is too old for fourth grade. But you could spend an afternoon just browsing and reading the backs of books to see which ones sound like your kind of story... then take notes of authors and publishers and maybe buy some that sound especially good to actually read.

I loved Goosebumps!! I took all my old Goosebump books up to my classroom library, and the kids still love reading them. I still remember which ones were my favorites, and I have fun recommending them to the kids LOL.
I loved Babysitter's Club and American Girl books too. And I've turned on a few of my kids to the Boxcar Children. I liked some of those too.

And it'll give you a reason to spend a day at barnes and noble and and excuse to buy some books! lol

I was surprised to see how popular those Goosebump books still are. There is another book that all the kids were reading last year but I don't remember what it was called. I think it was a mystery book and had something to do with codes? AHH it's going to drive me insane! the cover is tan lol
