The Book Worm - Realistic Fiction

This is a list of realistic fiction books (some historical fiction). Notice, this list contains children's, young adult, and adult books.

By Author: A B C D F G H I J K L M N P Q R S T W V Y Z

Anderson, Laurie Halse - I think everyone's heard of Speak at one point but I didn't think it was that great. Both of these books are about girls who have their lives turned upside down and change for the better in the end.
- Catalyst ***
- Speak **

Anton, Shari - Follow the lives of three sisters when they become separated at the beginning of Midnight Magic amid war and turmoil. Midnight Magic follows Gwendolyn de Leon, Twilight Magic follows Emma, and Sunset Magic will follow Nicole. The girls are each given a gift... a legacy, sight, and speech that are somehow linked to King Arthur. Time period: 1145, England.

Magic series:

Beale, Fleur - Kirby's mother leaves her with her very religious uncle and his family. First they change her name to Esther, then they enforce their strict rules on her. Kirby can't help but feel that the community is slowly brainwashing her. And then she discovers some shocking news...
- I Am Not Esther ***

Brashares, Ann - Fun, girly stories for the teenage soul :) These books revolve around four girls who find a pair of pants that can fit their very different body types. As they go away for the summer, they write to each other and send the pants between them. They are coming-of-age stories. Has been made into a movie. Recommended.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants:
- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ****
- The Second Summer of the Sisterhood ****
- Girls in Pants: the Third Summer of the Sisterhood ****

- Forever in Blue: the Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood ****

Brian, Kate - Kate Brian is a very good author. Her books are realistic fiction. They are sweet, funny books and I really like them, so read every single one. The Private novels are about Reed, a girl who gets into a private boarding school on a scholarship. Every book in the series ends with a cliffhanger but I can handle it :) Recommended.
- Lucky T *****

- Sweet 16 *****

- The Princess and the Pauper ****

- Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys ****

- The V Club ****

Private series:

- Private: a novel ****

- Invitation Only ****

- Untouchable ***

Brown, Dan - These are adventure/thriller books. The books with Robert Langdon are pretty awesome so I won't spoil them for you. Highly recommended. However, Digital Fortress wasn't as good.
- Angels & Demons *****
- The Da Vinci Code *****
- Digital Fortress ***

back to top

Cabot, Meg - I haven't read all The Princess Diaries but they are funny. Follow Princess Mia, through all the royal ups and downs. I must say, I liked the movie better. In Avalon High, Ellie moves to a new school where some people may be reincarnations of King Arthur's court. In Victoria and the Rogue and Nicola and the Viscount, the main characters pursue the perfect marriage in 1810. The plots are remarkably similar but sweet.

- The Princess Diaries & sequels ***
- How to be Popular ***

- Avalon High ****

- Victoria and the Rogue ***

- Nicola and the Viscount **

Carr, Philippa - Takes place in England a long time ago. Pricilla is in trouble. She's the 15 year old daughter of an influential man and she's pregnant. The father of her child is dead. An evil man knows her secret and will use it against her. This book is a test of faith and how far people will go for their loved ones. It is classified as "romantic suspence."
- The Love Child ***

Carter, Ally - Surprisingly, I liked this. Follow the girls of Gallagher Academy, a spy school, as they face the normal challenges of teen life... with a double identity. I think it's going to be a series.
- I'd Tell You I Love You, but Then I'd Have to Kill You ***

Cohen, Barbara and Bahija Lovejoy - Based on a folktale that originated in the Middle East. Buran's family is poor, so poor that her sisters cannot afford to marry. So, Buran goes off on her own disguised as a boy using nothing but her brains to start a business to help her family.

- Seven Daughters and Seven Sons **

Cohn, Rachel - Read Pop Princess. Two Steps Forward is the sequel to The Steps. Follow this: Annabel's mother (Angelina) and father (Jack) split and now Angelina, who still lives with her own mother, which means Annabel also lives with her grandmother in NYC, is dating Annabel's classmate (Wheaties)'s father Harvey. Her father moved to Austrailia and married Penny who was divorced from Patrick who has a son named Ben who likes Annabel when she visits Jack to meet Lucy, Angus and Penny in Austrailia. Isn't it confusing to have so many step-somethings?

- Pop Princess ****

- The Steps **

- Two Steps Forward ***

Cooney, Caroline B. - The Janie books are about a girl searching for her identity.

Janie series:

- The Face on the Milk Carton ****

- Whatever Happened to Janie? ****

- The Voice on the Radio ***

- What Janie Found ***

De la Cruz, Melissa - The Au Pairs is about three girls hired to be au pairs in the glitzy Hamptons during the summer. If only summer could be this fun where I live... :)
the Au Pairs:
- The Au Pairs ****
- The Au Pairs: Skinny-Dipping ****
- The Au Pairs: Sun-Kissed ***

- Fresh Off the Boat **

Dean, Zoey - Comparable to the Gossip Girl series. Takes place in LA, land of the rich, famous, and plastic surgery altered. Anna was born and bred in prim and proper New York City so moving to the West Coast is culture shock. Lots drama and jealousy :)
The A-list:
- The A-list: a novel ***
- Girls on film ***
- Blonde Ambition ***
- Tall Cool One ***
- Back in Black ****
- Some Like It Hot ****
- American Beauty ***

- Heart of Glass ***

Dent, Grace - These girly books are fun to read. Follow three friends as they just wanna have fun. The books take place in England so there's some slang and such to get used to.
LBD series:
- LBD: It's a Girl Thing **
- LBD: Live and Fabulous ***
- LBD: Friends Forever ***

Dickens, Charles - Because we read this in school, I'm obligated to give it only two stars. It's a bit difficult to understand and it has many subtleties in it you wouldn't normally find on your own.
- A Tale of Two Cities **

Dines, Carol - I liked the time period and the characters. Plus, it's based on real events. Angelica is a girl with a beautiful voice that attracts people from all over, including rich suitors and nobles to the delight of her plotting mother. However, the Pope has outlawed public singing by women so the only place for Angelica to escape her plotting mother and still be able to sing is the court of Queen Christina. But what if that place is not safe either? Very highly recommended.
- The Queen's Soprano *****

Dokey, Cameron - Jo O'Connor and her father have moved around the country all her life. When she has finally settled at yet another new school, she is uprooted again when she learns that her father must testify against a major criminal. Her family must enter the witness protection program but when she accidentally leaks it, something interesting happens.

- How Not to Spend Your Senior Year ****

Du Maurier, Daphne - This is a classic. It is about the new mistress of Manderley estate. Life is going well for her and Maxim de Winter, her husband, but the presence of Maxim's perfect first wife Rebecca haunts their life. When the secrets of the past start to spill, it seems that there was more to Rebecca than she let on...
- Rebecca ***

back to top

Farmer, Nancy - These two books are a great example of futuristic fiction. The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm takes place in Africa. Three children of a powerful man are kidnapped and African legends come to life... House of the Scorpion follows the life of a clone of an extremely rich and powerful opium dealer. It seems that there are plots within plots... Very highly recommended.
- House of the Scorpion *****
- The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm *****

Fletcher, Susan - I don't remember much about this book (I read it a long time ago) but I do remember its exotic setting. Marjan is hired by the Queen to gather stories for her to tell the Sultan each night (1,001 stories from Arabian Nights). But when someone suspects, her life may be on the line.
- Shadow Spinner ***

Flinn, Alex - Diva is the sequel to Breathing Underwater but it doesn't matter which order you read them in. Diva: Caitlin has talent. She can sing but, she also has her fair share of problems including a mother who dresses younger than she does and a father who left years ago. To get away from her old school (and to avoid her ex), she auditions for a performing arts school in Miami. However, convincing her mom to let her go when she is accepted is only half the battle. Recommended.

- Breathing Underwater ***

- Diva ****

Franklin, Emily - This is about Love Bukowski, daughter of a prep school principal. Things get messy when she has a crush on her best friend's boyfriend... among other things. In the next book, her best friend is ignoring her, her ex is MIA in Switzerland (of all places... Switzerland?), and a foreign exchange student is shaking things up. The third book in the series will be called Love from London.
The Principles of Love:

Grant, K.M. - Takes place when England is under the rule of King Richard the "Lion-heart" during the Crusades. Will and Gavin de Granville grow up on the estate of Hartslove with Ellie, an orphaned heiress who is betrothed to Gavin. When the brothers are older, they go on the Crusades with their father, leaving Ellie behind in the hands of Count de Scabious who has less-than-honorable intentions. The "blood-red" horse is Hosanna, Will's horse, who symbolizes what is right. The last book in the de Granville trilogy will be A Blaze of Silver. Highly recommended.
the de Granville trilogy:
- Blood Red Horse ****
- Green Jasper ****

Golden, Arthur - This is a really good book that has been made into a movie. It follows the life of Chiyo, later renamed Sayuri, as she is taken from her family and learns to become a geisha and the changes in life after World War II when Japan was defeated. Very highly recommended.
- Memoirs of a Geisha *****

back to top

Harrison, Lisi - Good books in a shallow, girly sort of way. The Pretty Committee is a group of the most popular girls in 7th grade (even if they act like high schoolers, the books are still good) and Claire has the good fortune to live with one of them so she will do anything to be their friend. The rest of the books are about the drama of being a girl :)
The Clique:
- The Clique: a novel ***
- Best Friends for Never ***
- Revenge of the Wannabes ****
- Invasion of the Boy Snatchers ****
- The Pretty Committee Strikes Back ***
- Dial L for Loser ***

- It's Not Easy Being Mean ***

Hendry, Frances Mary - This is a good story. Meg is given a quest to retrieve a young girl, now Queen of Scotland, after the king has been murdered. Meg's sister eventually turns against her so now she is on her own. There is a plot to murder the new queen and Meg and her friends must get her to safety.
- Quest for a Maid ***

Hinton, S.E. - Maybe I'd've liked it better if it weren't required summer reading. Honestly, Ponyboy? What kind of name is that? He's a greaser whose friend murdered some guy. I know this is a lousy review but it was a lousy book.
- The Outsiders **

Ibbotson, Eva - How touching. When an old woman wills "costume-jewelry" to Annika, her long-lost noble mother appears and takes her away to a castle in Germany where things aren't as they seem. Annika thinks her mother may be lying to her.
- The Star of Kazan **

back to top

Johnson, Maureen - Good realistic fiction. The Key to the Golden Firebird is about three sisters after their father's death and no matter how messed up their lives are, they will have each other. 13 Little Blue Envelopes is about Ginny, whose aunt has died. As a last wish, her aunt wanted her to travel across Europe according to directions in 13 little blue envelopes...

Kantor, Melissa - With a best friend who is one of the Top 10 It Girls of New York City, college applications, and no love life, senior year for Jan isn't looking too well. Especially when her friend gets mad at her. What can she about her boring existance?
- Confessions of a Not It Girl **

Karasyov, Carrie and Jill Kargman - Sweet sixteen story. Backstabbing and b****chy. It was still fun to read. First the girls are friends, then they hate each other and try to outdo each other for their little (read: very big) Sweet Sixteen parties. I just love how clueless Laura is about a certain someone.
- Bittersweet Sixteen ***

Keene, Carolyn - I haven't read these in years but I remember they all had the same plot line. When you read, look for: chapter ends right when something happens; Nancy Drew described as "titan-haired"; Nancy Drew and/or her friends need to be rescued towards the end; and some lead-in into the next book.
- Nancy Drew series **

Kidd, Sue Monk - Lily and Rosaleen, her surrogate mother, run away to Tiburon, South Carolina and live with three sisters who keep bees and sell honey. Lily stays there in peaceful existance while her tempermental father is still searching for her. While she is there, she learns more about her real mother who died when she was four. This is a really good book. Plus, it makes you want honey :) Highly recommended.
- The Secret Life of Bees *****

Killian, Beth - After, total humiliation, Eva Cordes graduates early and moves from MA to LA. Her aunt is the top talent agent for teens and lucky for Eva, she's going to make her a star. Eva has different ideas. She wants to find her mother who left her years agao. With her new roommates, credit card debt, and a mother who won't admit she exists, she has her work cut out.

- the 310: Life as a Poser ****
- the 310: Everything She Wants ****

Lenski, Lois - I read this a long time ago and I've read many like it but, I forget which ones I've read. This was good (or so I thought). It's about a girl who was adopted by the Native Americans and chooses to live with them.

- Indian Captive: the story of Mary Jemison ***

Lowry, Lois - Number the Stars takes place during WWII. I think it was a great book. It's not your typical war novel. I liked it. The Giver and Gathering Blue take place in the same universe though the characters are different.

- Number the Stars ****

- Gathering Blue ***

back to top

Mackler, Carolyn - Starts off as a story of a fat girl trying to lose weight, then evolves as the whole world seems upside down when her brother unexpectedly returns from college. Everyone must learn to cope with what has happened.
- The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things ***

Mayer, Melody - At first I thought it sounded a lot like The Au Pairs, but it's definately different. These take place in LA. Lydia, Esme, and Kiley are nannies for rich people. They are each dealing with their own problems. The three become fast friends and help each other out.
The Nannies novels:
- The Nannies ***
- Friends With Benefits ***

- Have To Have It ****

McBride, James - This is probably the only nonfiction/memoir I will ever like. It's the life of James McBride's mother and her stuggle to do well for her children. His story is also in there.
- The Color of Water ****

McCaughrean, Geraldine - Takes place in thirteenth-century China. After his father's death, Haoyou joins the circus as a kite rider and makes decent money but ends up giving it to his greedy uncle. His cousin warns him about this but Haoyou doesn't listen and his uncle eventually gets him into trouble with the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan. Recommended.
- The Kite Rider ****

McGraw, Eloise - It had a few cheesy lines but overall, it was great though I still have questions about what happens to the characters. Mara, a slave in Egypt, is bought by a man to serve Queen Hatshepsut as a spy. However, Mara decides that working as a double agent is better for her. She assists the rebels who want to restore the rightful ruler to throne. Things get messy when she makes one mistake too many. Highly recommended.
- Mara, Daughter of the Nile *****

McNeal, Laura and Tom - It's about the lives of people in one small town and the little things you wouldn't know about your neighbors...
- Zipped ***

Mechling, Lauren and Laura Moser - I think this is going to become a series. Mimi moves back to New York City after living in Texas. After betting her best friend Sam that she can become friends with the most popular girls in their grade, Mimi gets her chance to prove she can be one of them. After she and Sam have a fight, he uses this information against her.
- The Rise and Fall of a 10th-Grade Social Climber ****
- All Q, no A: More Tales of a 10th-Grade Social Climber ****

Meyer, L.A. - The full title is Bloody Jack: Being An Account Of The Curious Adventures Of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy but that's a bit long. After Mary's parents die, she is forced to live on the streets. She eventually finds her way onto a ship as "Jacky" and life continues on... as a boy. The other books chronicle her life after she is discovered and sent away... Highly recommended.
Bloody Jack adventures:

- In the Belly of the Bloodhound *****

Miller, Sarah - Very interesting... Who knew what went on inside guys' minds? A girl has suddenly found herself inside Gideon's mind. She sees what he sees, hears what he hears.

Bread Sister trilogy:

- The Bread Sister of Sinking Creek ***

- Maggie Among the Seneca ***

- Up the Frozen River **

Myracle, Lauren - TTYL and TTFN are written like IM conversations. Rhymes With Witches was kinda creepy. It's about a girl who is suddenly given a chance to become popular... but, she finds out that popularity comes at a price.
- Rhymes With Witches ***
- TTYL **
- TTFN **

Naylor, Phyllis Reynolds - Every third-grader has read Shiloh but for those who are older, here's a series for girls. There are so many, I won't list them. This series follows Alice through her years in middle school and high school and speaks bluntly about the questions that all teenage girls have.
- The Alice series ****

Noel, Alyson - Forced to move from her Connecticut prep school life to Laguna Beach, CA, Anne isn't very happy. While other teens would love to be in California, she just wishes she was back with her friends on the East Coast. She makes some new friends, but Ellie, the reigning queen of surf at her school positively hates her. Maybe this could have something to do with Chris, the hot guy who is teaching Anne to surf...

- Laguna Cove ****

Pascal, Francine - Okay series so far, better than another book she wrote. Also read the Sweet Valley High books if you're interested in wasting time. Fearless FBI is about Gaia, a girl who was born without the fear gene. She enrolled to train as an FBI agent and I must say, she's getting some pretty intense action for a trainee. Since everyone is dying/taken out/no longer part of the story, what will the characters do now?

- Live Bait ***
- Agent Out **
- Naked Eye **

Peterfreund, Diana - Amy Haskel never expected to be tapped into the ultra-exclusive secret society of the Rose & Grave. As one of the first female members to be tapped, she doesn't know what to expect. Strangely enough, neither do those that tapped her... half the fun is just the initiation!

- After ****

Qualey, Marsha - It sorta has a plot but mostly it's just telling you stuff. After being the last person to see two people alive, what's-her-name feels guilty. Add to that the possibly being arrested and the stress of graduating early. There's your story.
- Just Like That **

Rallison, Janette - Predictable but sweet. Cheerleader Samantha runs for class president after bombing the SAT's.

So now she has hide her score from her parents, win the election, find a prom date, and not insult people? Could anything be harder? This was cute so go ahead and read it.
- All's Fair in Love, War, and High School ***

Ruby, Laura - Audrey is a good girl. She's ranked 4th in her class, skipped a grade, and is, mostly, responsible. When a *cough*naughty photograph of her is sent around the school, people stare at her in the hallways, whisper behind her back, and even her parents treat her differently. She must learn to deal with the humiliation while getting her life back on track. Recommended.

Could "A" be Alison, their best friend who disappeared three years earlier? She knew everything about them. But if Alison isn't "A," who is?

Pretty Little Liars:

- Pretty Little Liars ****

Sittenfeld, Curtis - It was slow. And strange. I don't see why people think it's so good. Lee is a girl from a not-so-well-off family. The book follows her years at Ault, an exclusive boarding school, as a scholarship student. Not light or fluffy at all.
- Prep: a novel **

Snadowsky, Daria - "If only he came with instructions..."
