Well, if you like historical fiction, I would recomend my current favorite book of all time, The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. It takes place in Nazi Germany, focusing on Leisel Meminger, a German girl who was put into foster care becasue of her communist parents. It is rather sad, so if you are not in love with books that make you cry, it might not be a good choice. But it is truly an incredable book, and it's also rather long, so it would tide you over for most, if not all of your trip, depending on how quickly you read and how much time you will have.

Another longer book is Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, a fantasy book about a young woman named Zélie Adebola on her quest to rescue her people, the magi of Orïsha, a fantasy kingdom based off of West Africa from the cruel king. It does have some violence and romance, either of which might make some people uncomfortable. There is one sequel, Children of Virtue and Vengance.

A lighter suggestion would be The Incorrigable Children of Ashton Place, a historical fiction book with some veins of fantasy, about Penelope Lumley, a young governess with three. . . unusual students. I honestly can't think of any triggers on the top of my head. It is not a super thick book, and the words on the pages are pretty large, so it shouldn't take an incredabley long time to read, although there are a lot of sequels.

My final suggestion is The Girl Who Curcumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, by Catherynne M. Valente. It is (another) fantasy novel, not incredably long, and once again, lighter reading, although there are some profound themes of you are in the mood to think about the book you are reading. It is about a girl named September who is brought to Fairyland by the Green Wind and a Leopard, and immeadately decides to save the world. There are a lot of capital letters.

I hope this is useful! Enjoy your vacation! 

I have actually read the last two books you recommend, and enjoyed both of them. I will look up the other ones. Thanks!!!

Ooh, recommendation time! I don't know if any of these books are exactly what you're looking for, but they fit into the genres you mentioned and they're some of my favorites, so hopefully at least some will work out.

Fantasy:

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune. Really sweet!

A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge. Very quirky, with an amazing ending.

Graceling by Kristin Cashore. Engaging world, characters, and plot!

Historical Fiction:

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. WW2 fiction. One of my favorite books of all time! Potential issues: a bit dark and very sad

Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix. About the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Sooo good. Potential issues: also a bit dark and very sad

Dystopian (ish?):

Imposters by Scott Westerfeld. Very enthralling!

Rated by Melissa Gray. Interesting world set-up! Good (and diverse) characters! Riddles! Secret societies! Potential issues: one character has an eating disorder

Scythe by Neal Shusterman. Really intriguing! I liked the later books in the trilogy a little bit more, but this one was still amazing.

Oohhhh yesss...

Let me know if you need more! I love reccommending books.

Sidenote: for #3, this one is a little bit harder to read, like it's sometimes a bit hard to understand for an eleven year old like me, but if you're older than me disregard this note.

Ooh, book recommendations! I don't like horror or sci fi either so this should be easy.

Fantasy:

-If you like Percy Jackson, etc., I would recommend the Aru Shah and Sal and Gabi series.

-Roald Dahl books

-The Tuesdays at the Castle series by Jessica Day George

Historical fiction:

-The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly (there's a sequel called the Curious World of Calpurnia Tate)

-The books by Lauren Wolk are really good: Beyond the Bright Sea and Wolf Hollow

-The War that Saved My Life by Kimberley Brubaker Bradley (& the sequel, The War I Finally Won.) I should reread those...

Yes that was a lot. 

A really good book that I like is the Candymakers wich is a really nice, light-hearted book, but it's pretty thick... so a good road trip book! (By Wendy Mass)

I also really like Howl's Moving Castle, which is a fun and interesting read. It's got a ton of little plots woven into the bigger plot, which is pretty much hidden until the end of the book. If you've seen the movie "Howl's Moving Castle" it'll be even more of a fun read! Because then you can see how much the movie differs from the book. XD (By Diana Wynne Jones) 

And let's see... what else? How 'bout an oldie but a goodie. If you've never read Harry Potter, why not give it a go on the roadtrip? (By J.K Rowling)   

Well, if you're interested, Lupine. I will post my list of a million fairy tale retellings. I have been interested in this genre for years, and I’m currently working on my own retelling of Sleeping Beauty. As you can probably tell, my favorite stories to be retold are Sleeping Beauty (I don’t know why, as I never really liked Sleeping Beauty much in the first place) and Beauty and the Beast (my favorite fairy tale of all time.) But I really do love them all, so I apologize in advance to the admins, because this will be a really long post.

Beauty by Robin McKinley (Beauty and the Beast) {This is the first fairy tale adaptation I have ever read, and it holds a very special place in my heart. The storyline is fairly close to the original tale of Beauty and the Beast, but Robin McKinley did a masterful job fleshing out the world, and it is really a work of art.}

Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley (Beauty and the Beast) {I love all of Robin McKinley’s books, but this is almost certainly my favorite of her retellings, although I don’t really know why. I would recommend this book above most of the others on this list.}

Spindle's End by Robin McKinley (Sleeping Beauty)

Hunted by Meagan Spooner (Beauty and the Beast) {I’ve only read this book once, in contrast to many of these other books which I have read many times, but what really stuck with me was how the author mixed Beauty and the Beast with Russian mythology, and how artfully she did it.}

Sherwood by Meagan Spooner (Robin Hood) {I don’t actually classify Robin Hood as a fairy tale, exactly, but I have a few retellings of it that I have enjoyed enough to put it on this list.}

Hawksmaid by Kathryn Lasky (Robin Hood)

Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly (Cinderella)

Fairest by Gail Carson Levine (Snow White) {Gail Carson Levine is most well known for Ella Enchanted, an adaptation of Cinderella, but I found Fairest to be much more compelling to me.}

Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin (Snow White and Rose Red)

Once Upon A Dream by Liz Braswell (Sleeping Beauty) {This book is actually part of the Disney Twisted Tales series, in which books are adapted from Disney movies instead of the original fairy tales. But this one was the only one of the series that was worth mentioning, in my opinion.}

Thornspell by Helen Lowe (Sleeping Beauty) {Although this story is based off Sleeping Beauty, it is told from the perspective of the prince, which makes it very different in plot from many other retellings.}

Entwined by Heather Dixon (The Twelve Dancing Princesses)

The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell (The Twelve Dancing Princesses and Beauty and the Beast)

Snow in Summer by Jane Yolen (Snow White)

Zel by Donna Jo Napoli (Rupunzel) {This is the first fairy tale adaptation that really got me into the genre, back in second grade, but it has stood the test of time, and I would recommend it highly to anyone.}
