The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3) by Rick Riordan
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $4.28
This and it's predecessors are seriously one of the best series I have ever read. EVER. Go get The Lightning Thief and the Sea of Monsters (1 and 2) and get this one which releases on may 1st but already is on Amazon. Not really sure why.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $20.46 / Used from: $1.98
Do I really need to say anything? This counts for the first books of Harry Potter too.
The Pilgrims of Rayne (Pendragon)The Pilgrims of Rayne (Pendragon) by D.J. MacHale

The newest one. This series is pretty good. check out the rest too. They're great for when you've got that extra time to spare.

Ptolemy's Gate (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 3)Ptolemy's Gate (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 3) by Jonathan Stroud

These are some of the BEST fantasy books ever. 1 and 2 are good too. Check them out. NOW. You will be hooked.
The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Book 1)The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Book 1) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $22.81
Not sure why this is so expensive... Personally I didn't find anything REALLY great about this series, but I do say this: You should read it if you have children, or if you just want to read it.
The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, Book 5)The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, Book 5) by Eoin Colfer
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $0.21
Read this and it's series, this is actually a good use of your time.
Jurassic ParkJurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Not technically a children's book, but a child definitely could read it. It's not THAT mature. The Lost World was nowhere as good.
The House of the ScorpionThe House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.01
Now this is a must read. Not necessarily a must but, but must read.
InkheartInkheart by Cornelia Funke
Buy new: $7.91 / Used from: $0.01
Inkheart and it's sequel are pretty good. Movie's coming out so obviously people enjoyed it. Inkspell is it's sequel.
The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1)The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01
I did not think this series was anywhere as good as it was hyped up to be, but it's good for a read. Read the whole series. All 13 books. Sounds like fun.
Charlie Bone and The Beast (Children Of The Red King, Book 6)Charlie Bone and The Beast (Children Of The Red King, Book 6) by Jenny Nimmo
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $4.97
This has not come out yet. But, if you're really interested, I guess you could use this as something to read while you're waiting for some book to come out. CHarlie Bone series is an average series.
The GiverThe Giver by Lois Lowry
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.75
Extremely good. A must read. Is a more serious book.
The Abhorsen Trilogy Box SetThe Abhorsen Trilogy Box Set by Garth Nix
Buy new: $17.27 / Used from: $13.00
Read this or just buy the whole trilogy. A good read for a long time.
HootHoot by Carl Hiaasen
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.05
Three hoots for Hoot! Ok, that was stupid, but this book is not. Read it , you'll see.
HolesHoles by Louis Sachar
