For beginners, I would recommend 'The Percy Jackson series'. It's full of adventure and the characters are really relatable. It helps you understand Greek mythology in a very accessible way.

One great Greek myth fiction book is 'Circe' by Madeline Miller. It focuses on the character Circe, a witch in Greek mythology, and her story of power, love, and self - discovery. Another is 'The Song of Achilles' also by Miller, which tells the story of Achilles and Patroclus in a beautifully written way. And 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series by Rick Riordan is a modern take on Greek myths that is very popular among young readers.
For beginners, I'd recommend 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury. It's set in a future where books are burned, and it makes you think about the importance of knowledge and freedom. Also, 'I, Robot' by Isaac Asimov. It has a collection of short stories about robots and their relationship with humans, which is a very common theme in science fiction.

But this other world has a very sinister side. It's not overly gory or complex, making it suitable for those new to scary fiction. 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs is also a good choice. The old photographs in the book add an extra layer of creepiness, and the story of the children with special abilities in a strange home has some scary elements. 'The Girl from the Well' by Rin Chupeco is a bit more on the creepy side, with a vengeful spirit as the main character, but it's still accessible for new readers.
