What should I buy for 14 year old and a 16 year old niece

Please, give me some ideas here. They read voraciously, but they're getting bored with children's heroic fantasies!

Great idea, Allison! Do you have any suggestions? I intend to try to fob off some pop science books, but you never know with that sort of stuff. We'll see.

Thanks, Ċuna™[Nan, 23. They know and love four of the six, so I hold high hopes for the other two!

I can provide you with more... just tell me! However if you search on the internet you can find the top sellers for teenage kids!
Goodluck!

Please suggest more, Marcon. I like your taste. Most 107 year olds are seriously out of touch with Young Adult fiction.


Here's another good one, maybe for kids a little younger: The Walls of Cartagena by Julia Durango. It's set in Cartagena de Indias in the 1600's. It deals with slavery, the inquisition, leprosy, and gives a glancing mention to the suppression of Galileo's writings. Oh, and it is pretty much in the setting of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Another neat one for teens is Hoot by Carl Hiassen. It's an ecological mystery-adventure set in a middle school (that feels a lot more like a high school). Hiassen's books are always funny, and generally include some kind of skullduggery by developers trying to sell out the landscape.
