most of the heinlein books are are sci-fi and have children/teens/young adults as the main characters.
and there all graet u can find then in my can of books in the can of books section
Thanks for the suggestion, though I don't really like Heinlein.
I don't know why, I jus't don't. ;/
Any other books that you can think of?
Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast Trilogy.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
What about David Eddings Belgariad/Malloreon series or Anne Mc Caffrey's Pern books... They are in the links posted by Quiet Silence in the "books in a can" thread!
Rayman Feist's 'Fairy Tale'
Surprisingly engrossing.
Excellently written.
Farmer's 'Riverworld' series. (five books I think).
Isaac Asimov's Empire series.
Stephen King's and Peter Straub's 'The Talisman'.
Douglas Adams, 'Hitchikers guide to the Galaxy' series. (A five book Trilogy).
Peace
have you olnly read ender's game? there's a whole series of of books by orson scott card about the ender character. speaker for the dead and xenocide are the next two in the series
there's a specially interesting series, called the shadow series which are the same story as ender's game but from another character's perspective. the first one is ender's shadow...excellent reading
botts
Going with Orson Scott Card, I liked the Alvin Maker series. Heartfire is the first book, I think.
- Summer of Night by Dan Simmons, Horror with kids as main characters.I also like when children/teens/young adults are the main characters.
- Stand by me by Stephen King, some kids are going on an adventure, no horror.
- Discworld from Terry Pratchett! Harry Potter but then good, hilarious!i've read harry potter, and it was alright. too much for children.
Thanks for all the replys!
I'll definetly be reading some of the books suggested. (some i have read)
Also, are there any books out there about, more specifically:
a gifted kid at military school. or similar.
That is what I feel like reading...I will be reading some of the suggested books, but I really want a book that follows something similar..
It doesn't even have to be military school..
Thanks!
