I looooooovvvvvvveeeee books sooooo much!!! I read lots of books a day. I recommend, all Rick Riordan series: Heroes of Olympus, Trails of Apollo, Magnus Chase, The Kane Chronicles. The 39 clues are awesome and so are Harry Potter books. One of my favourites and I highly recommend is the Ranger's Apprentice series (they are amazing).

Besides Harry potter of course, I'd reccomend the Giver by lois lowry.The book thief and Anne of green gables are also good recommendations.If you don't mind classics you should also read Jane Eyre, Rebecca and little women .
Once your're 18, I'd reccomend the nightingale by Kristen Hannah, The kite runner and Beartown by Fredrik backman.

The Collector Collector by Tibor Fischer, utterly original, very funny and so rich in the journeys it takes you on. And you can’t beat Paul Coehlo’s The Alchemist as a must read book of self discovery.

"Os filhos da droga" by Christiane F. (Zoo station in english and german I believe). It's kind of brutal but I read it at 13 or 14 and it really kept me out of danger by scaring me enough not to ever consider trying drugs. I think today's kids don't reflect enough about the consequences of some behaviors envolving drugs and alcohol

The Thief of Always by Clive Barker
It is a little known but great young adult novel. The book is written in a very easy to fall into but hard to put down kind of way. Each chapter is only around 10 pages and always ends on a cliff hanger. I don't want to give a way too much about the book but the basic plot is a child running away to a magical place full of secrets.

Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell and Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. The first one is a murder/thriller book and is entertaining for people who like those genres. The second book is for everyone and will completely change your perspective on life. The second one is the best book I've ever read in my life.
