  • hello im kaitikat and i read a really good book called Second Star to the Right.

  • Yeah I read that a few years ago, didn't like it much though. How come all teen books are about anorexia these days??
  • hello dilleight...i thought it was a really good book for teens my age.
    i think many teenage books are about anorexia because they want to aware teens my age about the dangers of this illness.

  • Yes but I just think there are too many and a lot of them make being annorexic sound cool! They always made me feel fat and I really regret thinking I was fat before I was 16 because I wasn't at all!
  • oh ok...u are kinda right i guess...
  • Kinda right! He he. Well I think it is mostly a matter of taste anyway I'm sure not everyone likes reading crime books all the time either (when I don't have to read politics and philosophy) The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a cool series to read if you get fed up with reading about teenage girls

    a) Finding themselves
    b) Getting pregnant
    c) With parents divorcing
    d) With eating disorders

    Have fun!

  • You know another cool teen book is The summer of the travelling pants I think that is what it is called. Its a book about close friendships and bonds. The second one is good, I loved it and I'm not even a teen
    I'm going to check out that hitchhikers guide it sounds neat!

  • Not so much a teen book, but defintely a switch from anorexia. Try Betsy Lerner's "Food and Loathing". A lament to at times relate and others laugh at.
