Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

This is an excellent book for high school girls.  The wording in places may be confusing, but the overall story line with its surprising twists and witty irony is refreshingly entertaining.  I love it.

Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

It was a good book if you like dogs because that is what it is about.  It was also about a preacher and a dog.

Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink

A good book about a tomboy who lives in the west.  There are a lot of good adventures where the tomboy, Caddie, visits the Indians, has fun with her family, and makes many decisions.

The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

The story details a segment of the life of Esperanza with profound beauty as she explains her identity and her heritage.  Cisneros' use of the vignette shows the delicacy and rhythm possible in the art form.

Inkspell by Cornella Funke

Inkspell was an extremly good book.  Dustfinger was my fav character.  The book was about how Mo and Meggie and how they attempt to keep away from Capricorn.  They run away to Mo's Aunt's house.  Capricorn finds out where they are, and captures them.  Mo escapes and attempts to get Maggie back.  Dustfinger betrays them to Capricorn.
