1. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

2. The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
“The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.”
3. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

5. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.”
6. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling
