1, self-narrative "The Witch by Blackbird Lake"
Witch in Blackbird Pond
There are many novels with the theme of "witch", and this one is the best in my opinion!

In that age of inequality between men and women, religious persecution and even the legend of "witch", how should enthusiastic and brave Katie face the passionate pursuit of rich William, the friendship of enthusiastic and kind "witch" Hannah, the love of wandering sailor Ned ... Who is loyal to herself? How to get rid of the prophecy of "witch"? ..... Children will enter the life of New England in the17th century through this book.
2. Optimistic jacqueline wilson Series
Jacqueline wilson is known as the queen of British children's literature and my favorite writer. Her classic works-The Mummy of the Cat, Super Best Friend, What's in Our Class, Tracy's Secret Notes, Cotton Candy Girl and A Midnight Wish all made the bestseller list. My daughter loved it and watched it many times. Later, I gave the book to my friend's child, and she was still angry about it, blaming me for not giving away her favorite set of books.
Among them, my daughter and I like marshmallow girls best. This book describes Flores whose parents are divorced. When her mother wanted to move to distant Australia with her new husband and brother, she resolutely chose to stay with her poor and untidy father. While giving up the rich life, Flores has to face his father who is not very good at taking care of his children, a completely changed life, the ruthless ridicule and gossip of his former close friends, and the feeling of missing his mother. ...
However, in Jacqueline's works, no matter how hard life is, you can always find crystal-clear pearls. The growth of teenagers is Jacqueline's most concerned topic. Reading her works will always make people forget that this book was compiled by the author, but it is like seeing the protagonist's naked heart, whether it is parents' divorce, pressure to make friends, love exploration, emotional conflict ... She can truly present, not exaggerate, not preach, and make people feel the same, thus truly achieving the purpose of character education. I suggest reading the English version. There is a book in the Chinese version called Adventure Summer Camp.
3. Collaboration on "Living on an uninhabited island 16 people"
I have read many books on the theme of "island survival". I am not interested in this book, but my son strongly recommends it to me. Sure enough! After reading it in one breath, I was inexplicably moved.
Although the story of "the Japanese sailboat was shipwrecked and the crew of 16 struggled to survive on an isolated island" is not unique, under extremely difficult circumstances, the crew of 16 had to overcome disputes, disputes and despair ...... all kinds of human weaknesses, dig wells to get water, find food, take care of each other, cooperate with each other, persuade leaders, and even teach each other.
And because it is an isolated island in the sea, the description of natural landscapes and animals in the sea is also very vivid and interesting.
4. Communicate with "The Summer of Sending Newspapers"
My son and I agree that this novel is full of tension and unforgettable. It may be a little painful at first, because the book is full of repeated narrative methods without punctuation-because the protagonist is a stuttering 1 1 year-old boy, so the narrative in the book can imitate his way of speaking and let the reader experience it from his own situation.
How hard and bravely a boy with stuttering must try to communicate with others-this is the theme of this book. Throughout the summer vacation, in the process of delivering newspapers to classmates, the stuttering boy met all kinds of people, thrilling and warm, or cruel and realistic things. After reading this book, we will finally understand that the so-called communication often lies not in what the other party said, but in his attitude, which makes you feel whether you are respected or accepted.
All this requires not a glib tongue, but a keen and delicate heart. Therefore, only by accepting yourself and liking yourself can we think about our relationship with our parents and friends and find our own direction in life.
5, humanity, divergence
In recent years, there are many popular science fiction works, among which Divergent is one, which was also put on the screen the year before last.
When I read science fiction, I value its "creativity" and "humanity". This book boils down the human struggle to lust, timidity, ignorance, selfishness and hypocrisy. In the future world, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, there are five factions: self-denial, fearlessness, erudition, friendliness, outspoken self-denial, and holding public office; Bo school, management knowledge and education; Fearless faction, responsible for garrison and national defense; Friendly faction, responsible for farming ... When everyone reaches the age of 17, they should choose their own faction, and then leave their family and friends to cultivate and be loyal to the faction.
The problem is that not everyone can make such a single division, because the "goodness" of human nature is often cross-sectarian, and that's how "divergers" appear, but those in power can't accept the appearance of such cross-sectarian people ..... My two children and I both think that this series is very creative in reflecting on human wars, and we can watch dramas directly without reading books.
6. Life is still Alice ("I miss myself").
This book was adapted into a film the year before last and won an Oscar. After reading the original book, I said that although the content is pure fiction, the description of the symptoms of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease (commonly known as "Alzheimer's Harmo's disease") is very true, and the function and memory of the human brain are explained in detail, from which readers who like popular science can benefit a lot.
There are many conflicts between mother and daughter, husband and wife, career and family in the book, and the discussion of life and reflection on love are all moving. Moreover, there is no obscure content in the book, which is very suitable for senior primary school students or middle school students to read.
7. Goal "Seven Habits of Excellent Teenagers"
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is familiar to everyone and has been selling well for 26 years. Sean Covey, the son of Stephen Covey, was taught by his father since childhood, and later wrote a book, Seven Habits of Outstanding Teenagers, which also became a classic. No matter how the world changes, some truths will never change. Do you want to improve your self-image and establish friendship? Do you want to achieve custom goals without interference from others?

8. Love "the best youth in life"
All the Bright Places
This is a typical "problem of juvenile" novel: Finch and Ovella, two teenagers struggling between life and death, pain and hope, meet at the moment of suicide and share a sad, fragile and heartbreaking love story, which is daunting. Many juvenile novels have touched on similar themes, but few works have reached such a touching level.
