Who is a good author of mystery books for teens?

June 62011

A few years ago I read a bunch of mystery books by an author who had initials instead of a first name. I don’t remember who it was.

Roland Smith is a good one. Look at his IQ book series. It’s more conspiracy-mystery, though. :P

What are some good mystery books for girls?

May 302011

I need some good mystery books for girls! I’m 13 years old and I’ve already read most Nancy Drew books. I’m not a fan of the Hardy Boys so don’t suggest that please! (Don’t suggest twilight either…ew.) I’m a pretty fast reader so alot of books would be helpful. Thanks!(:

Try the Sammy Keyes series. I think the author’s last name is Van Draanan. It’s still getting sequels and is set in our time.

If you like Nancy Drew, try Trixie Belden, they were written around the same time.

There is also The Anthony Monday series which is a bit more fantasy like and the author has several other series’.

What are some good mystery or science fiction books that aren’t more than 150 pages?

May 202011

Im a girl in middle school & need a science fiction or mystery book for a project. I don’t want it to be more than about 150 pages cause i don’t have that long to read it. If it’s less than 150 pages than that would be good. Thanks :)

I just loved "The White Mountains" by John Christopher. It is a little over 150 pages but not much at 164 pages. If you want a riveting read try "The Hunger Games". It’s longer but it will keep you up at night just to finish.

What are some good teen romance/mystery books?

May 172011

I’m looking for a good romance and mystery book. Romance and suspense or thriller is fine as well. Please no Vampire books I’m getting sick of them! (I’ve read about 7 including the Twilight Saga)
Thanks ! :)

That I can think of:

Sarah Dessen books are always good for romance.
The beautiful dead series is kind of a mystery with some romance and all my friends like them :)
The Luxe series, again a romance with a bit of a mystery.

Might not be your sort of thing but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Malorie Blackmans books; Noughts and Crosses is the first one, very romantic but also sad

Hope this helps! <3

Does anyone know any mystery books that have a Trans character as one the main characters?

April 132011

Does anyone know of a mystery book that has a Trans character as a main character? No sexual or surgery stories please. I’m looking for a non-wordy book.

I know this is pretty irrelevant, but there’s this Canadian animated comic style cartoon I used to watch called "Cybersix". It’s about a woman who dresses as a man during the day but at night she fights monsters in a weird latex suit and high heels..

o_o.. Ok maybe this was completely irrelevant. Oh well.. maybe someone will be interested in it.

Great show though!
