Interesting - they are all coming of age stories that involve what appear to be highly gifted children/young adults. As I raise my PG son, these take on new and evolving meanings for me.

Pride and Prejudice
Ender's Game
Little Women
Hunger Games
The God of Animals (very sad)
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I guess my favorites are a little pedestrian. But they make me happy - old friends. P&P is my go-to answer for "the one book I'd want if lost on a deserted island."

You would be kindred spirits with my dd14 well except for Hunger Games!). She feels the same about P&P.
