i have to read a book for english and i cant decide on what to do.
the only main requirements are that it has to be atleast 200 pages (no more than 300 please) and at our reading leve (10th grade)
my favorite book is the giver but i cannot read that because it is too short and i like books along that line.
i like more true to life kind of books with relatable characters and i dislike things like harry potter and lord of the rings
any suggestions? please if you name a book give me a little background info on it! (link)

A book that I found to be astounding and brilliant was "Crank". It is based on real life and is very easy to relate to. It is a teenage girl, who's parents are divorced. She goes to visit her father in New Mexico for the summer, while she is there her father doesn't spend any time with her. So she makes up an alter ego Bree so she can feel more wild. She then meets a boy named Adam who turns her on too drugs, cigarettes, and sex. She goes home a completely different person and her mother nows. She makes 2 new guy friends at home one loves her and the other rapes her and gets her pregnant. It ends with her leaving her baby with her mother so she can go do more drugs. I finished this 536 page book in a little bit over a day. It isn't really even that long. There are 2 page chapters, and the writing doesn't even fill up the entire page. I enjoyed reading this book a lot I think you would like it too. Hope I helped!

My friend did a report on it for school and got an A on the project. Is your school strict about stuff like that? If not then I would say that it is a great book to do.
