I'd recommend the Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque du freak), and the Demonata series, both by Darren Shan. There's also most of the stuff by Matthew Reilly. Oh! THe Saga of Seven Suns! It's a sci-fi epic. And the Inkheart trilogy. That's all that comes immediately to my mind.
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

Books That Are Really Good~
• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
• The His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman
• The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
• Percy Jackson and the Olympian series by Rick Riordan
• Marie Dancing by Carolyn Meyer (which is a book about a ballet dancer btw)
• The Northern Light by Jennifer Donnely
• The Lighthouse War by Adrian McKinty
• The Secret Life of Bees by... erm someone. I'll get back to you on that.
• The Abhorsen series by Garth Nix as well as his Keys to the Kingdom Series

Those are all of my favorites! Many more too but those are the ones that stand out for me.
Good Luck finding books!

Peace, Love and Sugar Packets~

Some of my favorite books are:

Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card

Spindle's End, by Robin Mckinley

Firebirds Rising Anthology

I also recommend The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, which someone else already has! That book is amazing. Pure amazing.

You should definitely read BEASTLY by Alex Flinn.
It was absolutely awesome.
"She walks in Beauty, like the night,Of cloudless limes and starry skies;And all that's best of dark and bright, Meet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellowed to that tender light, Which Heaven to gaudy day denies." -George Gordon Lord Byron

Must say this first - I think Forever Threnody meand A GATHERING Light by Jenniffer Donnely. Read it first! Best book ever.

From the books you listed, A Catcher in the Rye comes to mind.

As for my favourite books - Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston is beautifully written and the ending is pretty striking. I like Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Golden) too. It's pretty long, but well constructed, and his characters are fabulous.

hope some of that helps

Jenny Downham - Before I Die.
Melissa Marr - Wicked Lovely.

Warning, though, BID will probably make you cry. It's a very sad, but VERY good, book. ouo

I must say:
1. One Prayer Away by Kendra Norman-Bellamy.
2. Elisha's Bones by Don Hoesel
3. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
4. I would sat To Kill a Mockingbird but you seem to have beaten me to the punch.

Hope these helped in the least. They are a slim few of my favorites. I have a whole list if you need it.

I want to add something. Any of the Airborn trilogy
(Airborn, Skybreaker and Sunclimber) by Kenneth Oppel.
I haven't read the third yet, but Airborn is a great work
of adventure.

Quick summary: Matt Cruse, the cabin boy aboard the Aurora,
finds himself in a bind when another boy takes his place.
If that isn't enough, the ship is raided by sky pirates. Yes, sky pirates.
