　　Peter Pan – J.M. Barrie

　　《彼得潘》

　　小飞侠彼得潘的故事，小编就不用多说了。

　　Almost everyone knows the story of “Peter Pan” which is why this is an easy read. Being familiar with a story already helps the reader to understand the text better. This book is aimed at children, but it continues to be enjoyed by adults around the world too.

　　The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemmingway

　　《老人与海》

　　著名作家海明威的《老人与海》，相信很多读者都看过中文版，这次可以挑战下英文版。有些词有点难度，好在故事不长。

　　This is a famous classic. Almost all native English speakers will have read this book at some point in school. So, if you ever find yourself in a conversation about literature and books, this is a good one to talk about. At some points it has a little bit of difficult vocabulary, however, it is short and you won’t have too much trouble being able to finish it.

　　The Giver – Lois Lowry

　　《技艺传授人》

　　这是一本科幻小说，年改编成了一部电影。故事稍长，但是语法简单，句子也比较短。

　　“The Giver” begins in a very interesting way and catches the attention of the readers from the beginning. It has easy-to-understand grammar. Most of the grammar is just past simple and past perfect. All of the sentences are short and there is no confusion in the story. This is a longer book. It’s really easy though, so you’ll finish it quickly.

　　Number the Stars – Lois Lowry

　　《细数繁星》

　　《细数繁星》作者和”The Giver”一样都是Lois Lowry，不同的是本书是本历史小说，故事发生在第二次大战德军入侵丹麦时期。推荐对战争历史比较了解的人阅读。

　　This is a realistic novel. It’s based on history. Unlike other historical literature, it’s easy to understand. If you already know a lot of information about World War II, this might be an interesting book for you. It’s not recommended if you don’t know too much about the World Wars. In this case, you will be focusing on trying to understand the facts too much so you will not enjoy the book as much.

　　A Wrinkle In Time – Madeline L’engle

　　《时间的褶皱》

　　这也是一本有科幻内容的童书，书中句式长短错落有致，作者对场景的描述也很好，只用简单的词就勾勒出来。阅读时请记得准备好你的单词本，否则会错过很多很酷的词哟。

　　This book has a mix of shorter and longer sentences. The short sentences allow the readers to relax a little bit more. They also create the scene well and let you know what is happening through simple words. There is a lot of vocabulary to learn. It is a good book if you’ve already got experience reading novels in English. Make sure you have your vocabulary notebook with you, just in case there are any cool words that you’d like to learn. This book has MANY!
