 | Notes from a Big Country by Bill Bryson
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01 Hilarious. Really draws you in. Found out about when I had to analyze an extract from it for part of my English Language mock.

 | Chinese Cinderella: The Secret Story of an Unwanted Daughter (Puffin Teenage Books) by Adeline Yen Mah
Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.01 Really well-told and empowering, too. It's interesting to learn about how all of Adeline Yen Mah's story fits in with the Communist China background.

 | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter 5) (Harry Potter) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £1.99 Loved this one, and the four that preceeded it. Go and read it!
|
 | The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Buy new: £4.90 / Used from: £1.09 This is the best and easiest 'classic' I've read. I love how hypocritical the protaganist is.
|
 | Twelfth Night (No Fear Shakespeare) by William Shakespeare
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £22.99 I acted in this at 12 (as the sailor and the officer no less!), and it's funny when you understand it. I love SparkNotes No Fear for translating Shakespeare and putting it side-by-side with the play.
|
 | Size 12 Is Not Fat: A Heather Wells Mystery by Meg Cabot
Buy used from: £0.36 (size 16 in the UK)...bought this when in Orlando, it's funny and relatable to a certain extent. The protagonist is great.
|

Buy new: £3.68 / Used from: £3.98 Great, very interesting. Get thinking!
|
 | Speak (Bite) by Halse Anderson Laurie

Listmania!
