gotlumpiaone@aol.com
Anne of Green Gables, especially the first one

rosiesandoval@lycos.com
When I am feeling down I like to read J.D.Robb's In Death series. The books are set in the future and are about a police woman and the murders she must solve. J.D. Robb is really Nora Roberts but I don't think her fans care one way or the other. :)

FtLicky@aol.com
Whenever I'm feeling down, I really enjoy reading something that will make me laugh. I usually pick up Meg Cabot's THE PRINCESS DIARIES or ALL-AMERICAN GIRL, as those are two different books featuring hilarious characters.

cellolady@comcast.net
anything by Lurlene McDaniel or Garth Nix because their books are powerful and I can connect with the characters.

nikki_chick23@hotmail.com
thie is unique because books are set everywhere and it really depends what the plot of the book is to depend on where it is set so i would pick Greenland because #1-i've never read a book that took place there and #2 i'd like to see someone make an interesting and modern stryline to fit there that wasn't about someonebeing lost in the wilderness or anything else along those lines

nikki_chick23@hotmail.com
I like to read something kindof sappy and not to support any gender biased stereotyes i like to read a "chick flick". When I'm sick or in a bad mood i don't want something that takes alot of attention and is a rollercoaster. i want someting feel good htat will restore my faith in the better things in life and the value of people and humanity. I'd suggest sisterhood of the traveling pantsto anyone in that situation. you can't and don't want to go anywhere which is the perfect setting to dive into this book and you'll already have the tissues right beside you.

acae@msn.com
I love reading Sharon Draper books. They make me cry and forget about every thing else.

terryhil@juno.com
Whenever I feel down, I read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. its like opening up to a friend you've known forever. I love the main character's, (Melinda) sarcasm and wit about high school. I really connect with her.

I was totally depressed until recently when I started reading Kingdoms And The Elves Of The Reaches. So far it is four books. I like the 2 and 3 and 4 the best. Since all my friends are reading ti they think I'm the coolest since I started first.

ncallier@taylor.k12.ga.us
I like to read Madeleine L'Engle's books because they remind me that good can triumph over evil. I also enjoy reading The Giver by Lois Lowry because Jonas is a hero and does what is right. StarGirl by Spinelli also reminds me that it is okay to be an individual even if it is sometimes painful.

cherrydoll29@yahoo.com
When i am feeling down, i like to read a book in the daughters of the moon series by lynne ewing. i also like to read books by amelia atwater rhodes, darren shan, cate tiernan (Sweep) when i am down. i practically love anything supernatural as long as they have some romance in them!!

anlcyhu@msn.com
I always feel like reading Sophie's
such as 'Can you keep a secret'
That cheers me up and makes me feel energetic!

lilessie53@yahoo.com
Hidden Talents by David Lubar or Trial by Journal by Kate Klise, both are funny and good reads. If you are feeling down, pick one of these up and you are in for a good read :)

theonering2rulethemall@msn.com
something funny!! there's no point in reading anything sad, it'll only make you feel worse. maybe "the earth, my butt, and other big round things", or maybe an adventure book, like "artemis fowl", or "lord of the rings". something like that....

Midnightsun458@aol.com
I take a moment (or two, three, four) and enter the wonderful world of Harry Potter! I've forever been a fan of these books, and I find J.K. to be such a brillant writer. The magical places, kooky objects and rich characters all invent a whole other world in itself that I am automatically transported from whatever may be in the present. Then again, I do always feel a tad sorry when I'm done traversing around the Wizarding World for the day as I realize it's all just among the pages of a book yet again...or is it?!? ;>D

lara_28@msn.com
When I'm depressed in any way, I find P. G. Wodehouse's books quite cheering. They are funny and seem to make you think your problems really aren't that serious. Though I really don't get depressed very often...

The Princess Diaries books, any of them!

I usually like to read romance novels like books by Jude Deveraux. They really help me to feel better.

Mustbekissed@yahoo.com
I love to read Sonya Sones, "What My Mother Doesnt Know". I like to read that book because it takes my mind off of my problems and Im lost in the book. I fill like when I close the book the world pauses and stops moving completely untill I open the book again. Its like I become Sophie and her problems are mine. Its totaly cool!!

AngelCutie285@aol.com

Louise Rennison - the Georgia Nicolson books are so funny you can't help but feel better after reading just a few pages!

‘Roots’, which is written by Alex Haley is undoubtedly the best, heart-warming book I have ever read. It is the story of Kunta Kinte, who is from Africa. He is an extremely brave, loyal young man from a small village, Juffure, in The Gambia. He has turned 17 and was very excited because he has become a man. But unfortunately, things did not turn out the way he would like it to be. One day, while he was out chopping wood to make a drum, he was abducted and sent on a slave ship to the New World to become a slave.

In America, a John Waller, who treated him like dirt, bought him. Kunta tried to escape 4 times but he was caught and finally, the slave-catchers cut of his right foot. He was then sold to John Waller’s brother, a doctor who treated his slaves better.

Kunta got married and had a daughter, Kizzy. She was taken from her parents to become a slave to another master. He used her for his own pleasure and she had a mulatto baby, George. George grew up to be fighting cock trainer. He got married and had kids, too.

So, the story goes on until Alex Haley was born. When he was a young boy, he would hear stories of Kunta Kinte, who claimed he was from Africa and was also very proud of his homeland. Then, Alex Haley set out to find out the true story of Kunta and his history. It took him 12 years to complete the book. Really, read it for yourself and you will learn a lot. It made me appreciate that I have my family with me now and I have no one torturing me till I bleed, half-dead, and practically losing hope of ever getting the chance to be free again.
This book deserves 5 out of 5 stars!

josephine_jalleh@yahoo.com
When i'm down, i just grab some Sweet Valley book because it is easy-to-read and it is also a kind of feel-good book.

When I feel down I like to read a few things. If I'm just feeling down about nothing in particular I like to reread Little Women. If I'm feeling down because of a boy or "love" troubles, I read A Walk to Remember. It helps reaffirm my faith in love and the basic goodness in all people.

rowe46@hotmail.com
Terry Pratchett........of course!

unwantedprincess_6@hotmail.com
Jaclyn Moriarty - either 'Feeling Sorry for Celia' or 'Finding Cassie Crazy' (aka THE YEAR OF SECRET ASSIGNMENTS)! Or Melina Marchetta's 'saving Francesca'.. gotta love it. Oh, or Louise Rennison.. any of her's will do.

5abrigham@stmail.fm.cnyric.org
When i'm feeling really trapped in my crazy teenage life, i love to escape the drama by reading the "Gossip Girl" books. These books have helped me to relax, and it's a healthy way for me to escape from my problems temporarily. I have read all 4 of the Gossip Girl books and i TOTALLY recommend them for a little teenage-drama enjoyment!!

Someone witty...definatly a little kid's Dr. Suess. Even a Shel Silverstein book would do. They always make you laugh!

roselyn97@hotmail.com
When I'm in a sad mood, the author that I like to read is Nora Roberts because it's just like eating chocolate and watching romance movies that you can cry too; but books are better anyways

5RMawen@episcopalhighschool.org
I read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson because it's so sad, but so hilariously quirky which is perfect for me. It's scary how much of myself I see in the protagonist, Melinda Sordino. It's like reading a page out of my own diary.

tjsob@juno.com
Harry Potter all the way! Maybe thats cuz he has so many problems...far worse than my own. I mean, I may have my parents after me, but they're nowhere as bad a Voldemort!
Also, this may sound weird, but the Series of Unfortunate Events. Same reason as before.

PrInCeSs6098@aol.com
When I'm feeling down the author I would sit down and read is probably going to be Zoey Dean because she writes about girls with real problems and I can connect on so many levels with her A-List Novels.

annoying_mags@hotmail.com

crimsonrose87@hotmail.com
When I'm feeling down I love to read That Summer by Sarah Dessen.I think it's the summer scenery that really does it since I love summer,but the plot is great,too.

andy_lol@hotmail.com

krazygurl101n@excite.com
I love to read Joan Lowery Nixon when I'm sad or down. I love to because it brings me into a total different world than I really am. I love to really get into the book, and it makes you want to read and read and read. She writes the most wonderful books in the world. I recomend this book to any teen that loves mystery and suspense books.She is WONDERFUL!!!!!

hobbitgirl11@aol.com
Braveheart by Randall Wallace. It makes me feel like I have purpose and that people have it worse than I do, in the past and present.

Also- Snow by Tracy Lynn. Again, it makes me know that so many people have worse problems. Plus, it's just a fantastic book.

aquagirl_2008@yahoo.com

Youth4Worship@yahoo.com
Mitch Albom most definitely. He's so positive on life, it's amazing. His thought process is so deep that it's contagious!

Shel Silverstein books bring my spirit up because they remind me of laughing at all the funny poems and they make nme laugh so I wont feel down anymore.

annakrazy@yahoo.com
I like to read the sweep series by Cate Tiernan. Those books always cheer me up!!!

kendra_24601@hotmail.com
I love to read funny Books that will get me laughing, I also like to read books in which the main characters are really active, because I can be carried away with their adventure too. Books about other people suffering is not my cup of tea when it comes to feeling down, because its just more misery piled onto me! Judy Blume is a really good author when you are down because the girls seem to have the same problems, but they get through them, so you know that you will be able to. Also I enjoy reading the Shopaholic Books by. Sophie Kinsella, because her Character Becky, is just so incredibly sweet and silly it just kind of makes you laugh and groan at what kind of a spot she has put herslef in! In my oppinion funny books are best, no scary! haha Hope I was helpful!
