 Top Books to Read Before Graduation
We wanted to take a close look at what teens are reading...or better yet...should be reading to make them well-rounded citizens.
These books below were selected for their timeless themes, variety of narration, impact for discussion, and the simple fact that the characters become a part of your life for the rest of your life. Are there missing books on this list? Well come on, of course! But these were 10 that stood out in a quick poll of our Editorial Team as we sat around the StageofLife.com conference room table brainstorming and fighting about the top 10 books to read before graduation.
