What are some really good non-fiction books for teenage girls, around 14, would like to read?
March 62010
My teacher is making us do a weekly reading log where we have to read an hour a week and do a one-sentence summery on the book. But the thing is, it has to be NON-fiction. And know no books that meet my interest in non-fiction. Some things I like are Harry Potter, The Clique series, and the Twilight books. Anything similar?
Okay, this book is nothing like the ones you suggested, but I like the books you like, so maybe you’ll like this as much as I. It’s called Running With Scissors, by Augusten Burroughs, and it’s a memoir or autobiography, therefore non-fiction, and it’s absolutely hilarious. If you give it a shot, you’d probably enjoy it, I read it when I was your age. Also, there are plenty of books on vampires that are non-fiction, or you could even read a "guide" to Twilight or Harry Potter, those are also non-fiction, for example.

Hope that helps.

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean Sasson : a superb story that shows life in a gilded cage
Project Girl by Janet McDonald: a young lady grows up in the Brooklyn projects of the 50s and 60s. She becomes a member of MENSA (the international IQ society) and holds degrees from Vassar
Columbia and NYU School of Law. She also battled drug addiction at Vassar. Highly fascinating read and written in layman’s terms.

"She said yes"
Someone above mentioned that title. That book is incredible but a tear jerker so beware.
You could also try books by Torey Hayden. She’s a Special Ed teacher and she’s dealt with a few extreme cases. They are excellent reads.
You could also try Dave Pelzer’s "A Child called It" and the sequels as well as the book his brother wrote on the same subject
