Previouisly ranked 11 on the most challenged books of all time list, The Giver is a thought-provoking novel that emphasizes the importance of human connection and interdependence with the world.

Victor Hugo's Les Miserables is an inspiring story that is still applicable to our world today. Originally published in France in 1862, the epic novel has become a global snesation, having been adapted into numerous films and, preeminently, a musical. Hugo's diverse set of characters explore the significance of love, the extreme destitution in society, and the never-ending struggle for justice while telling an emotional, passionate story.


Artemis Fowl-Artemis Fowl, Book 1 By Eoin Colfer Cover Image
$8.99
ISBN: 9781368036986
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Disney Hyperion - October 2nd, 2018

Artemis Fowl was my favorite book series in middle school and still remains dear to me today; I think there's nothing else out there quite like it. Colfer seamlessly blends fantasy and sci-fi, bringing together contrasting elements such as fairy magic, advanced technology and weaponry, and daring criminal ventures. It sounds weird, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't...but if you take a chance on this series, I promise you won't regret it. You'll get swept up in the world of Artemis Fowl just as quickly as you would with popular novels like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson.
