Hi Hana, you might enjoy the first book and others in the High School Musical series, 'High School Musical: the Junior Novel,' based on the successful first film . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_School_Musical_(book_series)

Hm, I love this question since I'm a total book worm. I'm quite familiar with the works of the two authors you already mentioned: Lurlene McDaniel and Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Since it seems like you like some romance in the plot, here's some book suggestions that you might like: -Megan McCafferty: Sloppy Firsts, Second Helpings, Charmed Thirds, Fourth Comings, and Perfect Fifths(Just came out this year!) -North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley -Angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging by Louise Rennison (There's more books in the series, but I only read this one. Not really my cup of tea, but you might like it.) -The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (4 book series) by Ann Brashares -Check out Sarah Dessen. All her Books are fantastic, like This Lullaby, Someone Like You, or That Summer. -Avalon High by Meg Cabot (She's written tons of books, so you can check those out too, although her princess diaries series bores me) -Gabrielle Zevin: Elsewhere -Rachel Cohn I know you said you weren't into fantasy, but I love fantasy. Check out these authors just to see if you like them. They're totally different from Harry Potter. -Juliet Marillier: Wildwood Dancing, Cybele's Secret -Melissa Marr: Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, Fragile Eternity -Aprilynne Pike: Wings -Melissa De La Cruz: Blue Bloods -Libba Bray: The Great and Terrible Beauty (If you like this one, there's a couple books after it) -Jenny Nimmo: Charlie Bone series (started reading this in elementary, but the new ones are just as good. Very easy read) Feel free to message me if you don't like any of those listed above or need more book suggestions. n_n

I have a good recommendation for you today: "The Right Thing to Say" by Judith Martin I recommend this book for several reasons: 1. It is not a novel. It is letters written by real people to Judith Martin, who is an expert on etiquette (her pen name was "Miss Manners"). Miss Manners answers their questions. You can read as much or as little as you like in one sitting. 2. There is a lot of American culture in the book. 3. There is a lot of stellar advice in the book! 4. It is entertaining and funny, so it will keep your interest. 5. Judith Martin is well-spoken, so you will see quite nice English sentences without it being too formal.

Harry Potter is not difficult if you read.because many many children like it~~~ if you feel that those books are not too difficult to read ~ go on doing it~ the more you read,the better you understand~~ O(∩_∩)O~顽张ってください！
