Title: Pride and Prejudice
Author: Jane Austen
Genre: A classic novel.
About: The Bennet family's struggle to secure a prosperous, good marriage for their five daughters: beautiful Jane, intelligent Elizabeth, bookworm Mary, and the unrestrained Kitty and Lydia. It's essentially a love story, yet also captures the warmth of a family and brilliantly portrays the time era.
Recommended For: ROMANTICS- the story of Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy is amazing. Also, anybody who watched the movie + liked it.

Title: Flowers in the Attic
Author: V.C Andrews
Genre: Horror, suspense, fiction.
About: The Dollanganger family is perfect; blond and blue eyed, with four beautiful children. When the Dollanganger's father dies, however, the childrens' lives take a tragic turn for the worse, as their mother brings them to their grandmother's house and they soon become prisoners, locked away in an attic from the rest of the world...
Recommended For: Mature readers- there is incest sex, a LOT of inhumane child abuse and other upsetting topics covered, which is why the book was banned periodically from time to time. It's also a tad long- around 400 to 500 pages. However, if you're mature and used to reading long novels, I definitely recommend this book. It's extremely intriguing and really draws you in.

Title: Ella Enchanted
Author: Gail Carson Levine
Genre: Fantasy fiction.
About: It's a Cinderella story with the heroine being way, way more spunky! While Ella falls in love with her Prince Charming, she has to deal with a very unfortunate curse she'd recieved in her childhood- the curse of obedience. Ella must obey EVERY command one gives her; and she soon learns that between evil step sisters, helpless dad and enchanted creatures, obeying is NOT easy.
Recommended For: Middle schoolers. But if you haven't read the book yet, I recommend picking it up when you're on a road trip or going on a plane; it's a very sweet story nevertheless.
