This is not in order of "best" but merely alphabetical, to make it easier. If there is more than one book from a series, they have been placed together, but in the alphabetical order of the first book of the series (such as the Ramona books).

**Indicates books that have a sequel or are part of a series. They do not necessarily have to be read as part of their series. For example, Huckleberry Finn is technically a sequel to Tom Sawyer, but they can both be read as stand-alone books and Tom Sawyer does not really have to be read first. Others, however, such as the Harry Potter series, should all be read in order. We will discuss how to handle these books as a group as we get to each one of them. There is also a separate folder for threads if members want to go ahead and keep reading in a series.
