Classic Books for the Y.A. or High School Student

Dear Readers,

How are you? Today I'm concentrating on "Young Adult" or "High School Classics.

The following are excellent books to read, and they have endured time:

1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde- by Robert Louis Stevenson.

2. The Red Badge of Courage-by Stephen Crane

3.The Time Machine=by H.G. Wells

4. The Lost World-by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

5. National Velvet-by Enid Bagnold

6. Emma-by Jane Austen

7. Treasure Island=Robert Louis Stevenson

8. Around the World in Eighty Days-by Jules Vern

9. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz-by L. Frank Baum

10. The Hound of the Baskervilles-by Arthur Conan Doyle

11. Gulliver's Travels-by Jonathan Swift

12. A Christmas Carol-by John Dickens

13. The Jungle Book- by Rudyard Kipling

14. Moby Dick-by Herman Melville

15. Frankenstein-by Mary Shelley

16. The Call of the Wild-by Jack London

17. Kidnapped-Robert Louis Stevenson

18- Alice in Wonderland- by Lewis Carol


These books are "worth reading."

Perhaps, after you read each book, you can write a summary of the story in "Your Journal."

This is a great writing experience. And all of these books are loaded with "Adventure."

Happy Reading. Keep at it. You'll enter a new world through these books.

Sincerely,

Frankie (a. k.a. Ravenous Reader)
