There are alot of books out there but, a lot of those books your teachers make you read arent always going to be the best. So here is a list of my personal Top 5 books that I think everyone needs to read at least once in their life.

1. Holes, by Louis Sachar
2. The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton (you will read this one in 8th grade)
3. Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson
4. Wonder, by R.J. Palacio
5. Diary of the Wimpy Kid, by Jeff Kinney (this is a good book series if your struggling to read those bigger books)
