What are some adult books that are easier to read for teenagers?

My sister is always stealing my books that are waay to old for her, her reading level is very high, but I dont want her reading the trashy romance novels.

What are some adult books that are easier to read for teenagers?
Maximum Ride series by James Patterson is a great book for young adults. Good role model, good plot and all that good stuff. It's /nothing/ like The Clique and those other trashy teen novels. You didn't mention her age but I'm assuming that she is old enough to read any of the following books/authors





Agatha Christie


Sherlock Holmes


Christopher Moore


F. Scott Fitzgerald


The Dragon Riders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey


The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales: A Story for Modern Times by Marcia Grad


The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway


We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson


The Giver by Lois Lowry


The Alchemist by Paul Coelho


The Amber Chronicles by Roger Zelazny


The EarthSea cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin


The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff


The Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff


Frankenstein by Marry Shelley


Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones


Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
