I'm 13 and love to read so what is everyones favorite book?

My favorite book is The Wife Degree...
I love it, it is such a good book.
I've read it 15 times!

Picking a single most favourite book is very tricky, as it varies depending what mood I'm in, but Cyteen probably wins more often than not.

When I was 13 my favorite book was Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle

During a Christmass gift exchange a few years ago I drew the name of a relitive who wanted "the gift givers favorite book" It was very hard to decide, I have been readign for 45 years now. In the end I made a list of the top ten and gave him two books.

Catch-22 and Working

Good topic!

It's so hard to pick out just one favorite book.

If you're into books about magic, I can't recommend Valley of the Wolves by Laura Gallego Garcia enough. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is also a must-read.
Another outstanding book is The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. This is about the Battle of Gettysburg, PA. I read it for my Civil War class, but it is a wonderful novel as it tells the story from the points of view of all the commanders, Union and Confederate.
Last but not least, is the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer.

Happy reading! ^^

When I was 13 ( a long time ago) my favorite book was To Kill a Mockingbird. I've had lots of other favorites since then, but that one is still great.

Recollecting the books you read when you were young gives the feelings of your reading's enjoyment when you were carefree with a lot of free time at your hand to read, and your main duty was to pass your school examinations and most important of all the national examinations to prepare a person in the corporate or working life.

Hello. My favourite book is Don Quixote.

>#3 "something snapped in the wicked brain of Kerchak..." ah, memories.

Most recent fave is probably the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime.

The Princess Bride was probably one of the funniest books I have read! I also love The Catcher in the Rye and Treasure Island.

When I was 13, my favorite books were To Kill a Mockingbird, Gone With the Wind, and Lad: A Dog.

When I was 13 --
I second Gone with the Wind, other favorites Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Yearling.

When I was 13....Gone With the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, Anne of Green Gables, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Flowers for Algernon.

believe it or not I still have a fondness for the Boxcar children books. I think they were the first chapter books I ever read, many, many years ago...

Something about the excitement of adventure just grabbed me, and those Alden children! Yummy!

I never read The Yearling until I was a mother of school-age children. If I had read it when I was 13, I'm sure it would also have been one of my favorite books at that age! :-)

My favorite in eighth grade was Walter Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz.

When I was around 13 my favourites were anything by Judy Blume like Forever or Are You There God It's Me Margaret--she wrote great stuff. I also loved Deathwatch by Robb White. Wuthering Heights or Jayne Eyre were also fabulous but I read those at about 15.

Patricia Wrede Dealing with Dragons
Lloyd Alexander The Prydain Chronicles all five books
Andre Norton Catseye
Robert Heinlein Between Planets
Diana Wynne Jones any of the Chrestomanci books.

Hi,
If you like or are interested in sci fi you might try Tripod trilogy by
John Christopher

The White Mountains, The City of Lead and Gold and Pool of Fire also any of Robert Heinlein early books
Farmer in the Sky, Tunnel in the Sky, Have Spacesuit Will Travel,
Space Cadet, Starman Jones.

The Fountainhead by: Ayn Rand

Ditto on To Kill a Mockingbird. I also remember liking A Day No Pigs Would Die and loving The Chosen by Chaim Potok. And of course anything by Judy Blume or Paula Danziger that I could get my mitts on. I also really loved two books that look like they're out of print, Apples Every Day and Break a Leg, Betsy Maybe. They may be chick books, however.

When I was 13, I think my favorite book was Tunnel in the Sky by Robert Heinlen and The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury.

I read Have Spacesuit Will Travel and The Green Hills of Earth about that age also

It's a LONG time ago, but when I was 13, my favorite books were Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier, The Once and Future King, by T.H. White, and The Diary of Anne Frank. Keep reading!

I really enjoyed Six Months to Live by Lurlene McDaniel when I was that age.

When I was 13 I think my favourite book was A Wrinkle in Time

I recommend these Ray Bradbury books.
Dandelion Wine, Illustrated Man, and of course Farenhiet 451 ( I can never spell that word).

A long time ago for me, too... before there was any such thing as Young Adult fiction. The ones that I particularly remember from ages 13-14 are

Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Mistress of Mellyn and Bride of Pendorric by Victoria Holt, which led me to her historical fiction written under the pen-name Jean Plaidy;

Gone With the Wind, The Once and Future King, Auntie Mame, The Catcher in the Rye, and all the Agatha Christie mysteries that my library had.

My fave book (1 of them) (im 13 too!) well anyway, try 'the 5 people you meet in heaven', its AMAZING!!!!!!

I read my first “real” novel when I was eleven/twelve and it was “The Boys of Pal Street” by Ferenc
Molnar (I didn’t touschstone because it doesn’t work , I’ve already tried). It’s about two gang of
boys fighting for a place where they can play soccer, and there are other sub-plots. The story is set
in Budapest before WWI, and here in Italy and in Europe in general, especially in France is (I guess
was, before the fantasy-book-outburst ) a real classic, a lot of guys I know have started reading with
this one. I know it isn’t a well knonw book in U.S.A. and GB and it is a long time it hasn’t been
republished in English, you can only find it used, the strange thing is that the copies available have
usually a really high price.

At 13, and ever since, my favorite book was/is To Kill a Mockingbird. I also remember loving Joan Aiken's books: The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, Nightbirds on Nantucket, Black Hearts in Battersea, etc.

edited to correct title

I think 13 is around the time I discovered Piers Anthony's Xanth books. So, A Spell for Chameleon would have been my favorite then.

I'm a grown woman (coming up on 26) and my favorite books are the Twilight series by S. Meyer. I'm a little embarrased to admit that, but it's true.

So many great suggestions for you! I second the Victoria Holt nomination. She has lots of titles in the Gothic Romance genre - creepy houses, secret rooms, dark mysterious stranger who may or may not be evil. Too cool.

I would also recommend Touch Not the Cat by Mary Stewart (and her Merlin books too.).

An old fashioned book I deeply loved at your age was Daddy Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

When I was 13 I loved Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Gone With the Wind, and Tomorrow when the War Began series (which is probably more popular in NZ and Australia).

hmmm I don't think I could choose a just one favourite book now but all those that I mentioned I loved at 13 I still love and most would get in my top 10!

Plato: Timaeus

When I was 13, it was Der Jahrtausendflug (The Journey of the Millenium), a book about the first flight to Mars. It's "near future science fiction", i.e. realistic and without weird creatures or a feudalistic society in space. I tracked it down second-hand a few years ago, and it is still as good as I remembered it (I am 20 years out of school now :-) ).

I have a tag "all time favourites" that includes everything from picture books to non-fiction that is still favourite to me (about 40 books at the moment). Those that I would be loath to lose in a fire...
