Teenager books.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Krabat by Otfried Preussler
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
The Little Prince by Antoine Saint-Exupery

All of them are classics of world literature that will continue to fascinate young people a hundred years from now.

I never understood why Little Prince is ever mentioned as recommendation for teens. I had to do a report on it in high school and it's mixed with stuff like The Hunchback of Notre Dame. What's next Three Little Pigs?
