1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I think this is a book everyone should read, it's one of my all time favorites.
2. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
This is not only a classic with pirates, high adventure, suspense and adventure, it is also study in moral ambiguity. Plenty of fun reading, plenty of meat to discuss.
3. Night by Elie Wiesel
The past should be remembered.
4. The Call of the Wild by Jack London
I loved this one as a teen and loved it as an adult.
5. 1776 by David G. McCullough
History that is very readable.
6. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Or any other book by this great author!
7. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
A great introduction to the fantasy genre. Perhaps they will be encouraged to go on to The Lord of the Rings. I was.
8. Frankenstein by Mary Shelly
They know the monster from the movies. Now read and find outr who the real monsters are.
9. Anything by John Steinbeck
Peruse his books and choose one.
10.The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
This moving story of an autistic teen is a must read.
Well, there are so many great books out there it is hard to stop here.
