Hi there! I used to read a ton of books in elementary school and middle school – but as a current junior in highschool, I’ve noticed that my reading comprehension and attention span while reading has become a lot worse lately. Does anyone have some good book suggestions that can get me back into reading? I also want to rid myself of using my phone too much, and reading a book seems like the perfect way to do this!
If it helps, some books/series I’ve read in the past that I really loved include(s)
\- Funjungle series
\- Harry Potter/Percy Jackson series (actually read all the percy jackson books like 3 times by now lol)
\- Delirium series + Divergent as well
\- Hunger Games
So a lot of dystopian, but I’ve also read some fantasy stuff too like the false prince. 1984, ready player one, etc. Thank you!

You might enjoy these:
The Nevermoor series by Jessica Townsend. Currently 3 books, book 4 out next fall. I LOVE this series!
The Mystwick School of Musicraft and its sequel, The Midnight Orchestra, by Jessica Khoury. If you have Audible, there is a pre-Mystwick audiobook, pretty short, called Camp Cacophony, which is how I got into the series.
Cece Rios and The Desert of Souls with its sequel, Cece Rios and the King of Fears (book 3 coming in March, I believe), by Kaela Rivera, is also an enjoyable series.
Finally, although I’ve never read them, a lot of my students (I teach high school) who read enjoy Keeper of the Lost Cities series (not sure who its by).
Happy reading!

I’ve started reading Ellen Hopkins books and love them! I really liked the Crank trilogy
Have you read any of the other Rick Riordan books? I like the Apollo series as a follow up to Percy.
Also, I’m an adult with ADHD and when my attention span is low comic and graphic novels or manga are a great bridge for me to keep reading.
