Hi. I've read those books and they are really good. James is probably who id pick as well but you have to understand that it is not the most appropriate book. Also tge books are not completely accurate in regards to sex. Although James "scores" regularily it does land him in trouble. Save sex man. Besides as an incentive i hear its even better when you save it for marriage. Need more moral advice just say so. They are good books though.

I haven't read it, but about what Drake wrote... I recently read the Duncton Wood chronicles... an EPIC series and i reckon people who love good books that you can't figure out, would love them.
They also have a HUGE strong christian message, and when you figure it out, you're like "WOW, That was awesome!"

but... on the down side, book one, it had a few, not really sex scenes, but it had references, and I was like "arg, that spoiled it..." so I skipped the chapters...

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Well there's no sex till later on but the series is about a teenager named James who is picked to join a spy organisation that uses children up to 17 for spy missoons. They are really good books that have love, action and thrills. A great series. Some bad stuff but an accurate version on how some but not all teenagrts act. It doea have some really funny momments though. And the little sister of his is funny as.

I haven't read the books, but they seem like they might be good. If you are looking for some good, christian book series that have mystery and unexpected twists and turns, I know of a couple. I am a very avid reader, so anyone looking for a good book, give me a range of the stuff you like and I may be able to suggest something.

The first series that comes to mind Dragons of Starlight by Bryan Davis. It is about...well, I'm not really sure how to explain it. It includes a "book of Code" which I think is based on the Bible, and there is also the Creator (God). Check it out, you may like it a lot.

Another series is The Kingdom Series by Chuck Black. It is mainly about one boy who goes through many trials and adventures. His adventures are all almost exactly taken out of the Bible, or close enough that you can find the Biblical story it fits. For example, there is the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah's flood to name a few.

Strange or not, the last series I have to suggest is The Cronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. It is not the "little kid" series it seems to be. There are a TON of Biblical references mixed in with the fantasy. Along with a faun or dryad, you will find a truth like Jesus's death on the cross. If you have already read this series, try rereading it and seeing what you can come up with :)

Well that's all I have to suggest for now. Like I said, anyone looking for a good book to read, just give me a topic to work with, & I'll see what I can come up with :)

All the series I mentioned above are fantasy and adventure. :) I think you might enjoy the first series, Dragons of Starlight. There are four books in the series; I have read the first one. The third book in the series is coming out in September. The first book is awesome. I am planning on buying the second book as soon as I get a chance.
