I need a book report book that is at least high school level but is contemporary fiction and is interesting too. Do you have any ideas? I've given my teacher 3 or 4 choices but none of them are high school credit.
Choices I've Already Tried:
Leaving Jetty Road [Rebecca Burton]
To Take A Dare [Crescent Dragonwagon]
The Hunger Scream [Ivy Ruckman]
Any ideas?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. First of all, I would be very surprised if your teacher and/or school district did not have a suggested reading list. Your local librarian can also suggest some books.
From the Laurel Leaf Contemporary Fiction, here are 2 choices:
1. Princess Ashley, about teens and high school cliques
2. Children of the River, a high school student in Oregon (by Linda Crew)
There are some really great books on this reading list. It gives a brief summary so you can tell if it is something you would enjoy.

To find a contemporary fiction book that is at least high school level and interesting, you can try the following methods:
1. Consult a suggested reading list: Many schools and teachers provide suggested reading lists for students at different grade levels. Check with your teacher or school librarian to see if they have any recommendations. These lists often include a range of contemporary fiction books that are suitable for high school students.
2. Talk to your local librarian: Librarians are knowledgeable about books and can provide recommendations based on your interests and reading level. Visit your local library and ask for assistance in finding a contemporary fiction book that meets your requirements.
3. Use online resources: There are many websites and platforms that offer book recommendations. Goodreads, for example, is a popular platform where you can explore different genres, read reviews, and find suggestions based on your preferences. You can also use websites like Amazon or Barnes & Noble to browse through categories like "Contemporary Fiction" or "Young Adult" and read summaries and reviews to find a suitable book.
4. Join book clubs or online reading communities: Engaging in book clubs or online reading communities can be a great way to discover new books. These communities often discuss and recommend contemporary fiction novels. Platforms like Reddit or Facebook groups may have dedicated book communities where you can ask for suggestions or browse through recommended lists.
By utilizing these methods, you can find a contemporary fiction book that is at least high school level and interesting. Remember to read reviews and summaries to ensure the book aligns with your interests and requirements before making a final choice.
