    Hi Everyone! I’m looking to pick one classic book for each of my children to read this summer appropriate to their age/ability as part of their summer reading challenge. I have 9 children from teen to toddler. That means I need a classic to read aloud to the non-readers, a first chapter book, and on up from there to a high difficulty level.

    What are your not to be missed classics? The one book for each age or ability that you think is a must-read classic? (We read plenty of modern fiction, we don’t need any suggestions in that area, thanks!)

    I really love Les Miserables but it is looooong! The redemptive story woven through it and the sacrificial love that points to Christ’s sacrifice for us makes it well worth the time IMO. However I still haven’t decided if I will make my daughter read it or not. It might be a book better saved for the more mature.
