Normal User Posts: 5,578	I am currently in the 8th grade and I can't seem to find any good books at my school/town library that are interesting and that I havn't read yet. I was hoping that maybe someone might be able to recomend a good book to me. I'm into the fantasy type books with talking animals(not mandatory) and such... So... Feel free to give out ideas....

An eskimo girl lost in the arctic survives by befriending a wolf pack) Thats all I can think of off the top of my head, hope you find a book you like :) ~

Normal User Posts: 3,426	Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke, who's the same writer as The Thief Lord and Inkheart. Red Dragon Codex by R.D. Henham. There's other Dragon Codex books but they're all individual unrelated stories. I never got a chance to read them though. Septimus Heap by Angie Sage. (Septimus Heap is the ti tle of the series. I've read up to the fourth book and I'm not sure about others.) Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan. Probably my favorite book series in 8th grade. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Probably another of my favorite series a few years ago. Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda. An 8 book fantasy series with two other series after it called Shadowlands (I believe) - three books - and Dragons of Deltora - four books. Guardians of Ga'Hoole by Kathryn Lasky it's up to... 14 books? I'm not sure. Haven't been paying attention to the series, but it's really good. Ring of Five by Eoin McNamee. One of my favorite books ever. o_o It's in a series, but I've only read the first one. I also second the recommendation for the Warriors and Hunger Games series. White Fang is a little iffy. I read it a few years ago and found it more complex and adultish, but good nevertheless. It's not one of those magical-talking-animals-goes-on-an-adventure stories though. HypnoxSpazz 5evr

Normal User Posts: 3,642	... I'm gonna join Ping in the books-you'll-read-in-English-class club and say Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. P: I loved that book so much - and that says something, considering I find most books really boring. It may not be fantasy, but it's very good. I actually cried at the end lol. :U

Normal User Posts: 1,588	The other book i would have to suggest is Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman 99.99% of the Girls in America would pass out if Edward Cullen disappeared. Post this to your siggy if you were the .01% Happily locking him in Sheldon Cooper's Apartment

Normal User Posts: 1,775	I like dem books you read in English class. I'm not a fan of fantasy novels. The only fantasy I'd read is Howl's Moving Castle (the movie is nothing like the book mind you). I'm not very good at reading so I only ever read novellas. Of Mice and Men is excellent xD I (HATE)' YOU Feel the love man D:<
Jemi	2:55am Oct 23 2011
Normal User Posts: 1,588	There are a couple books set in the same universe as howl's moving castle, which i wouldn't really call sequels because they arn't really about Sophie and Howl,. the only one that springs to mind though is Castles in the Air. 99.99% of the Girls in America would pass out if Edward Cullen disappeared.

The sight follows a pack of wolves and Fire Bringer a stag. what ever you do dont read Fell, the squeal to the sight, it sucked BIG time! id also highly recommend Varjak paw and The Out Law of Varjak paw by SF said. there brilliant books with great art work :) the knife of never letting go by Patrick Ness- amazing book, one of the few books that made me cry so hard i had to stop reading to get a tissue the black magician series by Trudi Canavan- quiet long books but so so good (not quiet shore what age the 8th grade is for so there's a mix of levels in there 0_o= English)
