    My grandma would read me the books when I was little all the time, I loved his adventures and I thought that Paddington was such a cute funny little bear.
  • Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

    Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
    When I was young my mom would try to read to me every night so she read me the Little House of the Prairie books which I thoroughly enjoyed. I really like how it had to do with American history and the real struggles that the characters had.
  • The Chronicles of Narnia C. S. Lewis

    The Chronicles of Narnia C. S. Lewis
    I absolutely loved this series when I was little, and when the movies came out I watched them all. Also I can say that I know all about Narnia and not just from the movies.
  • The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

    The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
    I think that the first time that I read this book was probably in first or second grade and ever since it has been my favorite Dr. Seuss book. While the book is sad and is about people destroying the earth, I really enjoyed the story and the lesson that went along with it.
  • Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen

    Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen
    The story of Robin Hood has always been one of my favorites, and then in this book where the protagonist is a girl made me like the book even more. My favorite part of her personality was how she would not let anyone stop her from helping the villagers and her friends.
  • Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

    Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
    One of my all time favorite books, it’s incredibly sad and really hits suicide and bullying to the point of when anyone can read the book. And because of how the book is written it is really interesting to have a recording of someone's feelings.
  • The Help by Kathryn Stockett

    The Help by Kathryn Stockett
    I love this book and is one of my absolute favorites, it how a very realistic version of how African- Americans were treated as the help.
  • Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

    Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
    Read short little versions when I was little and then when I read the play in high school, I liked actually reading the full story and understanding the saying about the most tragic love story in history. I have been to juliet's house in Verona.
  • 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose

    12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose
    Reading the play was really interesting because at the same time I knew someone who didn’t get the out come that they deserved because of how the justice system is messed up.
  • Lord of the Flies by William Golding

    Lord of the Flies by William Golding
    It was a well written book but I absolutely hated it and made me angry.
  • The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

    The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
    Read this before I was going to go the Amsterdam, didn’t end up going, but itit was a sad realisation about the holocaust by looking directly at one family or person.
  • Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

    Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
    I read this version of Alice just over a year ago and I was really surprised of the actual story because it was so different from the Disney movie versions and the other versions I had heard. I did really like reading it, but if I had read it when I was a little kid I would have been terrified.
  • The Catcher in the Rye Novel by J. D. Salinger

    The Catcher in the Rye Novel by J. D. Salinger
    Another one of my favorites from english class, and I like the real life struggles that the protagonist when through.
  • I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

    I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
    I really like this book, but at the same time it was really sad and made me cry. It’s about twins and how over the years they grew apart and betrayed each other and the events that had caused this to happen.
  • Racing the Sun by Karina Halle

    Racing the Sun by Karina Halle
    I admire the main character for how she went off to travel the world by herself and when she ran out of money she got a job and then found a family in Italy.
  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

    Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
    When I read the book I was really confused about the different characters, I watched the movie which clarified my thoughts. But I was disappointed because everyone always says that the book is so great.
  • The Great Gatsby Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald

    The Great Gatsby Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald
    Favorite book that i have read in an English class, but the character made me mad but I like learning about the character in depth.
