I need a long book for a trip.

YA books

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle--600 pages and really good!

If you like fantasy genre, you can try Icemark chronicles by Stuart Hill, the House of the Scorpion, the Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer.

The two Beka Cooper books by Tamora Pierce are some of my fav books and they're quite long. Also, Runemarks, Brave Story, and East are longer and have been highly reviewed. I've not read them. Volumes I and II of Octavian Nothing are longish too.

I just went back and looked at books we have in common and think that, although they aren't all that long, you might enjoy John Green's books (Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and Let it Snow.) I'd start with Katherines.

Maximum Ride series... I am just getting into them but i flew through the first one and am almost done with the second one... i am loving them soooo much... they are pretty long...around 400 pages but the font is small so them seem a lot longer

His Dark Materials Omnibus is an all in one trilogy, which is the way I read it. Almost 1,000 pages and excellent.

*Seconds His Dark Materials* Especially if you can get it in one book.

now that is a long book... 1000 pages. wow!

If you haven't yet read GONE WITH THE WIND, you should.

I just read Uglies by Scott Westerfield. It was amazing. About 425 pages so not amazingly long....but still.

Teen Book: Octavian Nothing (2 huge volumes) or The Pillow Book
Everyone Book: Twilight series
Kids Book: Hugo Cabret
Dad says: Edgar Sawtelle is great ( It's on my list!)

Lonely Werewolf Girl is pretty long, 520 pages, but it seems a lot longer because there are hardly any margins and the font is small. It took me a fair while to get through.

The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak

The Book Thief is really awesome. I've started The Pillow Book and I'm enjoying it.

The Book Thief is a wonderful book but I don't consider it particularly long. There's a lot of pages but there's a lot of white space, large fonts, some pictures, and I think it's a relatively fast read.

The Uglies series was really good!!!!

If you're into Fantasy, the LotR triolgy.

City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass

I agree with Kristen - the Mortal Instruments Trilogy is wonderful.

Not exactly YA, but it has a 17 year old protagonist: read The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons. Epic WWII, set in Russia romance. I'm a YA reader, but I've read this as many times as I've read my favourite YA books.

I would also suggest the Uglies series. Or anything by L.J. Smith, whose books have all recently been reprinted in larger volumes - 2 or 3 books per collection. Night World is my favorite (start with Vol. 1: Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness, Spellbinder), but her Vampire Diaries series is super popular, and has some new books in the series that just came out, after the original 4.

Yes. L.J. Smith books are very good! I read the Secret Circle which were my favorite!!!

Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (awesome series), Any L. J. Smith books(night world, dark visions, or secret cirlce), Twilight series, Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine (there not long books but there are 6 of them, the summoning and the awaking by kelley armstrong, the mediator series by meg cabot (there great books, its a great story and there funny)

This isn't really a YA book, but I'm 13 and I've found it a lot better than a lot of YA books. It's called "The Time Traveler's Wife." Just make sure that you have plenty of free time where you won't be interrupted, because you're not going to want to put it down. ;)

Sigh, I love THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, but it is definitely not YA. It's one of those books that gets you stuck in its web for days.

Definitely not YA, but The Time Traveler's Wife is my FAVORITE book... probably ever. I can remember reading it for the first time when I was traveling with friends in Europe for spring break. It was 4 o'clock in the morning, my best friend and her boyfriend were asleep in the bed next to me, and I was crying like a baby. :)

Try Max Ride!!!

This Is All: the pillow book of Cordelia Kenn byAidan Chambers is long, but by far one of my favorite YA books. SOOOO good!

Ink Death

Kissed By an angel.. really thick and amazing

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
A Northern Light by J. Donnelly
The Dragons of Pern books by Anne McCaffery
House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Elske by Cynthia Voigt
Kiki Strike by ???
Trickster's CHoice and Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce

The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Blue Bear by Walter Moers is hilarious and extremely long. I highly recommend it.

Is Gone the first book of a series with the second book Hunger?

Well that's specific.

umm... i dunno if you´ve heard of it, but there´s this trilogy i love so much... kissed by an angel... it was written around ´95 (about my age :P) so it has tape references, and some other weird 90´s stuff, but its really good. each book is around 250 pages long, but now there´s this new edition with them bound into one book. must read for teens, especially if you liked (or would like to read) the twilight series, which are good long book recommendations as well.
