Last Train to Alcatraz by Leon (Whitey) Thompson. He was an inmate at Alcatraz and was finally given parole when they shut Alcatraz. He now visits boys clubs all over America and tells of his experiences within Alcatraz and how NOT to get on the wrong side of the law. I was lucky enough to have a chat with him when he was visiting Alcatraz to autograph his book. He had some amazing stories to tell. This made the book all the more fascinating for me.

A list of my favorite books would be enormous, but I'll pick a few at random. The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (by Douglas Adams), Coraline (Neil Gaiman), Stephen King's The Stand, or perhaps Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. I'd read all of those by 14 save for Coraline, which wasn't out then. That one is geared up for (slightly) younger readers, though.

Absolutely love The Outsiders too! Another novel I loved from my teenage yrs was To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Also 'Roll of thunder hear my cry!' Give them a go - they're fab! Happy reading!

There are many books that I've read that I really like. My favorite would be the Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe. He is my favorite author and I just love his writings. My other favorite that I've read twice so far is The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Have you tried The Silver Sword or I am David?? They are both classics. I also like The Secret Island by Enid Blyton, I can get lost in the story. Keep reading, it's the best thing to get you going in life!!!!!

I have two favourites so far, Journey to the River sea by Eva
Ibotson and Private Peaceful by Micheal Morpurgo. The first one is a type of adventure story and the second one is a sad war story
