| At that age I enjoyed historic teen romance, i.e., Jane Austin books and Charlotte Bronte. |

Fiction
Artemis Fowl (Eoin Colfer) Ruby Redfort Series (Lauren Child) Agatha Christie books (And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express - a fun movie to watch after reading as well) Americanah (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) Turtles All the Way Down (John Green) Nonfiction Bossypants (Tina Fey) Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Irin Carmon) Becoming (Michelle Obama) Born A Crime (Trevor Noah) What If? (Randall Munroe) Some of these could have slightly more mature material so it depends on your 14 year old. |

My girls are older now, but some that they liked at that age are:
Ally Carter Gail Carson Levine Trixie Belden mysteries Interworld by Neil Gaiman Mrs. Polifax (I read the first one out loud to my girls and they got into it. I think we went through the whole series. Although the main character is a grandmother who decides to spy at the height of the cold war, which doesn't seem likely to appeal to teens, the books are really well written.) Also good: Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper Keeper of the Isis Light by Monica Hughes Reckless Magic series by Rachel Higginson |
