    The Giver is a book that I will forever cherish! It was the first book that got me interested in reading and had me “travel to a different world” while I was reading!

  Hello everyone,
  
  My favorite book as a teen as far as I can recall was The Odyssey by Homer (although I did not like several aspects about the infidelity to his wife, but the adventures were cool to read about), The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Jester (I loved the fictional aspect of time traveling and play on words), Number the Stars by Lois Lowry (was a great read) and The Bible.
