The literary/library/bookselling world abounds with lists. What you should read during the summer, what you should read on a road trip, what you should read before you die, what you should read in the event of a zombie apocalypse. (I thought I was being funny with the zombies, but it turns out someone has written a list for that. No, really.)
So we here at the AHL decided to make a list of each of our Top 5 Books To Read Before You Leave School. Books on this list are well-written and offer high levels of enjoyment whilst being read but they also offer a little extra. Call it what you will - wisdom, life-lessons, a unique perspective. Sometimes you just can't pinpoint what it is about a book, you just know everyone else must read it too.
So we hope you enjoy this first instalment of the list. Watch this space and get reading!
