“’Lord of the Flies’ by William Golding. It’s about the importance of being taught how to act in civilization. It kind of asks at what point are you too young that you might lose control.”

“’Nefertiti’ by Michelle Moran. It’s about Nefertiti becoming Akhenaten’s wife and ruling Egypt. It’s based on fact but it is a fictional book.”

“’Fall of Giants’ by Ken Follett. It’s historical fiction about five families that branch out and become pivotal in determining the course of history.”

“’Intertwined’ by Gene Showalter. It’s about this kid who has four souls in his head. People think he’s schizophrenic but he’s not. He draws people to him, like vampires and ghosts.”

“’Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ by Douglas Adams. It’s about a man named Arthur Dent who finds himself stuck out in space after the Earth has been blown up. He has to figure out what he’s going to do afterward.”
