African American Fiction Book Clubs

african american fiction book clubs
I need some books to read ?

I'm 15 , african american . I like non fiction
So books I like are my sisters keeper and stuff like babysitters club . I need some books that are good for teens . Please tell me the genre . They don't have to be non fiction . And please tell me the author if possible

I love all of Sarah Dessen's books. She is a wonderful author and you can really relate to the characters. I am 14 and she is really great. I also like Lois Duncan. She is an older author, but publishers are in the middle of "modernizing" her books. They are great mystery reads. I love those. Most libraries carry them. None of the books are series so you can read them in any order. Here is a list of titles that are my favorite from those two.

Sarah Dessen:
Lock and Key
Along for the Ride
Just Listen
The Truth About Forever
This Lullaby
Keeping the Moon
That Summer
Someone Like You
Dreamland
What Happened to Goodbye

Lois Duncan:
The Twisted Window
Stranger With my Face
Ransom
Summer of Fear
Don't Look Behind You
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Killing Mr. Griffin
Daughters of Eve

Lois Duncan wrote about 72 books, but these are my favorites. I hope you enjoy them!
