Summer Reading Lists Especially for Girls!!

I got a nice list of books for girls...so here goes:

The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld
Anything by Meg Cabot. She is the one who
wrote The Princess Diaries.
Where the Red Fern Grows (have a kleenex box for this one)
by Wilson Rawles.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I
personally read EVERYTHING by S.E. Hinton.
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.
I never saw the movie, but hear the book is
FAR better than the movie.
The whole series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Many girls in my classes have
been working their way through the series this school year.
Heartbeat by Norma Fox Mazer and Harry Mazer.
I was told that this is a quick, easy read.
I reluctantly recommend The Clique books by Lisi Harrison.
The reason I am reluctant to recommend
this series is because I don't like the message the books send.
The books almost promote snotty girl behavior....
which I DON'T BELIEVE IN!!
Secrets of My Hollywood Life by Jen Calonita.
There is another book after this one too.
The Warrior Series by Erin Hunter is being read
equally by boys and girls in my classes.
The Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer is also a big hit.
This series has a new book coming out this summer.
If you go online NOW and request a copy,
when it comes out you can be in the mid 100's on the request list.
That's not too bad because the library will
buy many copies. Keep your eyes peeled for information.
I will be trying to track down the premier party for this book at the library!

I know there are MORE books.
I believe there is enough here to
get you started with your summer reading.

I loved the book, Bridge to Terabithia. I never saw the movie but I heard it wasn't that great! I highly recommend the book!
