There is something special about reading a classic book. These are books that have been around for many years, but have maintained their popularity due to their excellence and lasting storyline.

One really cool thing about reading classic books is that you may actually be able to talk about them with your Mom and Dad! In some cases these books may have been some that even your grandparents read as boys and girls. The classic books listed above have good story lines that will entertain, scare, and maybe even make you cry. As you look at the list, you probably realize that many of these books have been made into movies. I like to read a book and then watch the movie and compare any differences between the two. Sometimes the movie looks exactly like I imagined as I was reading, other times not. Some of these books, like a Christmas Carol have been made into movies multiple times. The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Patterson is the latest of these titles to be made into a movie with a 2011 release date.

So if your are looking for a good story, ask your Mom and Dad which of these books would be right for you.
