**P.S. I agree with you! I read The Twilight Saga before it was so popular and now I don't like it. It doesn't live up to the way people rave about it!What are good teenage/young adult books to read?
There was a pretty interesting sci-fi young adult book I remember reading back when I was in middle school. May be something up your alley. It's called ';Invitation to the Game'; by Monica Hughes. It's set in a dystopian future where students who fail in the courses end up being, pretty much, rejected from normal society. The story follows one girl and some of her friends who are assigned to live in a building together, picking up used furniture that's been thrown away. Anyway, the girl receives an invitation, as well as several of her friends, to join in a virtual reality game. I can't really say more than that... You'll just have to read it for yourself.
A book series I just finished.... I always thought it was a shallow, goofy kids book about kids saving the world. Then I decided to read them all in order just for nostalgia and was shocked! I don't know if it was in there when I read them as a kid or if I didn't read enough of them/didn't read them in order to get what the true meaning of the books were.... But ';The Animorphs'; is an incredible series.





On the surface its about aliens invading the Earth and a group of teens getting the power to turn in to aliens to fight back, which is cool enough in my opinion. But on a deeper level... its about the human psyche. How humans, especially teens, face the terrors and moral dilemnas involved in war, the darkness that is in a mans soul, how people deal with pressure, hopelessness and despair. Personally I find that stuff fascinating....it may not be your cup of tea.
