@BNBuzz Honorable mentions would be Flowers for Algernon and Catcher in the rye. I also want to add that I have bought all of these books as an adult and they are all still amazing. Please read them if you haven't.
@BNBuzz Honestly I feel like I always ended up really liking the books I read in school but there were three in particular that always stood out to me 1- Emako Blue, 2- To kill a mockingbird, & 3- Roll of thunder hear my cry. Those books, I can say with full certainty, shaped who I am.
