I love to read books by Lemony Snicket, Charmian Hussey, and C.S Lewis. Any idea what other books write the same like them?
Oh. And how do I get the money? No car wash, no lemonade stand, no bake sale. No extra chores. My parents doesn't have enough money for that. HAHA.



Answer
Artemis Fowl book series by Eoin Colfer is about teen age criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl who even plots to steal the gold from the fairies.

Also try the Famous Five book series,R-mysterty series beginning with Rockingdown mystery,Malory Tower series,Secret Island by Enid Blyton.Its about kids have adventures and solve mysteries.

Diana wynne jones writes some books based on a character called Chrestomanci.He is a nine-life enchanter.Read the books in the correct order.The best of the lot is magicians of caprona.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Mars novels and the Tarzan novels.There are 11 novels in the Mars series beginning with 'A princess of mars'.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for 1000 years.

The best among the Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs is 'Son of Tarzen.' Jack,the son of Tarzan shared his father's love for apes.He was only trying to help an ape escape to Africa from his cruel trainer.However he got involved in a murder and couldn't return home.He chose to live in the jungle with the apes.Its a fascinating book.The social system among the intelligent giant apes,Korak's relationship with Miriam are all interesting stuff.Its a great coming of age book.

Pirates of Venus introduces Carson Napier (a somewhat more cautious hero than John Carter), who builds himself a rocketship and blasts off for Mars. (How did he get to Venus? You'll just have to read the book.) Beneath the cloud cover of Venus Carson discovers a world of sky-high trees, warring kingdoms and princesses in need of rescue.

The Cop and the Anthem by O.henry.Its about a young tramp Soapy who tries desperately to get arrested so that he can spend the winter in jail.He eats in expensive restaurents,steals,insults women,cause general mayham.But to no avail.he just doesn't get arrested until...
This short story is part of the book 'The four million.'
The Gift of the Magi,From the cabby's seat,Last leaf all by the same author are terrific stories

You can get free e-books by edgar rice burroughs,O.Henry and rafael sabatini from Project Gutenberg.

Someone give me some good book suggestions?

*I could go on and on and amazingly these are only some of the books I have read. If they are by the same author I wrote them in the order they come in, in order to reduce confusion. (Note: there is a little bit of almost ever genre, not solely one)
