 | I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You (Gallagher Girls) by Ally Carter
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 A school for girl spies. This series is sassy and fab. Nothing else to say.
|
 | Shadowland (The Mediator, Book 1) by Meg Cabot
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.74 I looooove this series. Suze is a mediator which means she can see ghosts and has to solve their earthly problems before they can move off. And she normally does this in a big boot wearing way!
Don't be put off if you think this is fluffy chick-lit. It's not.
No. 1 in series

 | The General (CHERUB) by Robert Muchamore
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $5.00 The CHERUB series is FULL of strong action girls. This totally fab series is probably the best action book out there for teens at present. If you're reading this list you should be reading these books.
|
 | Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb by Kirsten Miller
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.74 This fun series is a little bit mad (and maybe not so realsitic) but it is lots of fun. Has an almost indie feel to it. A unique series not to be missed.

 | The Birth of Venus: A Catherine Lock, Art Restorer Novel (Volume 1) by Kelley Townley
Buy new: $6.14 / Used from: $24.78 Set in the glittering world of fine art. Feisty black-belt and shoe-aholic, Catherine Lock is an apprentice art restorer - meaning she steals back works of art taken by bad guys. Kinda like nancy drew meets lara croft on a bad hair day.
Feisty and fun this book also contains art facts to boost IQ.
|
 | Time of Your Life (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8, Vol. 4) by Joss Whedon
Buy new: $10.87 / Used from: $6.97 No list of feisty teens would be complete without a mention of Buffy. So many books and graphic novels etc. out there - too many to mention. This one is from season 8 - only available as a graphic novel. Still excellent.
|
 | Undercover Girl #5: Twisted by Christine Harris
Buy new: $10.95 / Used from: $9.23 Horrid cover but this series is really good. Each book is really thin - could have been put together in one book really. These are especially suited to younger teens.
N0.5 in series

 | The Book of the Sword (Samurai Girl) by Carrie Asai
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.89 May not be the best written series in this list but the martial art bits are top-notch.
|
 | Stunt Girl by Jonny Zucker
Buy used from: $0.30 Another good one for younger teens, this series is from the UK about a girl whose grandad is a stuntman and is secretly training her to be one too. Quite unique and full of action.
|
 | Spy Girl - Out of the Shadows by Carol Hedges
Buy used from: $0.01 Personally I didn't like this series but you might, so could be worth considering. I found them slow and uneventful and a bit random. And too many clowns - everyone knows clowns are bad, surely?
|
 | Empty Quarter by Julia Golding
Buy used from: $2.13 Second book in Julia Goldings series of Darcie Lock, a girl working for the british govenment in the footsteps of her dad. Quite a high-brow action series with loads of world knowledge built-in - and slightly less action.
N0.2 in series
|
 | Final Shot (Special Agents) by Sam Hutton
Buy used from: $0.01 Three teenages (one girl, two boys) training as spies in London, UK (my list is a bit UK sided actually as that's where I'm based.) This is good but a little on the light side compared with some of the others in this list.
No.3 in series.

 | City of Glass (Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare
Buy new: $10.52 / Used from: $9.96 Not sure if this counts. Clary is a shadowhunter - hunting the evil things that lurk in dark corners. I haven't read this one yet but the previous two books keep hinting she'll be this big bad hunter any minute now... any minute...

 | Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie by Holly Black
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.32 I'm starting to veer off into the paranormal here which I didn't want to do but this is a good twist on the 'beauty and the beast' story with out girl being the feisty beast within. Holly Black is amazing. I love her.
|
 | Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.40 Go on then, I'll also just add Tithe because the heroine is just so feisty!
