 I'll Give You the Sun by 

 4.15  ·  Rating Details  ·  66,516 Ratings  ·  9,217 Reviews
A brilliant, luminous story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, David Levithan, and Rainbow Rowell 

Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.

This radiant novel from the acclaimed, award-winning author ofThe Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee



Set in the deep south during the Depression, this novel poignantly reveals racism in America during that time.  The reader sees the story through the eyes of Scout Finch, a curious tomboy learning about the community she lives in, the people who inhabit it, and how life is not always fair, despite one's best intentions.  Scout begins to see the hate in her own community and struggle, like her father, to understand.


This novel is one of my personal favorites.  It is an amazing coming of age story where the young Scout learns that the people in her hometown are not all as they seemed.  She watches first hand as her father, Atticus attempts to open the eyes of the people of Maycomb, while doing his best to raise his own children to view all people equally.
