  1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: It's my favorite book ever and I feel like EVERYONE needs to read this! And I mean come on, its a CLASSIC!
  2. Golden by Jessi Kirby: I wished I had read this when I was in high school. Just to get me thinking about which way I want to take my life. Because trust me, at 18 I was only thinking about what I would do the next day lol 
  3. My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi: This is a MUST for teens. It will get them thinking about staying protected! It shows all the ways the virus HIV can be contacted and that its not to be played with. 
  4. Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown: This is another MUST for teens. In this day and age EVERYTHING is digital and teens treat their phone as if its an extension of their hand. (I'm guilty of it too!) This will serve as a eye opener to the ones that think this kind of behavior is acceptable. 
  5. The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan: You may laugh, but when I read this, I learned all the different gods and goddessess and what they represented and things like that. More so than I learned from The Illiad lol So I would have them read this series first just to get the feel for it and then we could tackle Homer!
