Here's a challenge for everyone who loves books and reading. Let us know which three books you would recommend to other teenage readers. They could be fiction, non fiction or books of poetry. They could be recently published or old favourites. You might have read them last week, last month, last year or even five years ago.

It's so hard to choose just three, but I'd recommend John Green's Looking for Alaska, Holly Black's Valiant and Lili Wilkinson's Scatterheart.

What about you?
