Any book by E.B. White (Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, The Trumpet of the Swan); Animal Farm by George Orwell; The Swiss Family Robinson by Johan David Weiss; Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. These are easy-to-read classics that can be enjoyed by readers of any age.

I'm a middle-aged adult with excellent reading skills, yet many of my favorite books were written for teens. Happy reading!
