What are some books with a good story?

One good book for boys with a great story is 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain. It follows the mischievous Tom and his friends' escapades in a small town. Another is 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien. Bilbo Baggins' journey in Middle - earth is full of excitement and wonder. Also, 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling is excellent. Harry's adventures at Hogwarts are full of magic and mystery.

A great book with a story within a story is 'Wuthering Heights'. The main narrative of the love and revenge between Heathcliff and Catherine is filled with the stories that the characters tell each other. For instance, Nelly Dean often relays past events and stories about the families, which are like stories within the main story of the novel. Also, 'The Canterbury Tales' has a story within a story. A group of pilgrims on a journey each tell a story, and these individual tales are the stories within the larger story of the pilgrimage.

Another good one is 'Charlotte's Web'. It's a heartwarming story about a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a spider named Charlotte. The story shows how friendship can be a powerful force and how stories can bring people (and animals in this case) together.

One great book with a wonderful love story is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Their relationship starts with misunderstandings and pride, but gradually develops into a deep and abiding love. Another is 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks. It's a very touching story about a couple's love that endures through many years and difficulties.

A good horror story book is 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty. It tells the story of a young girl possessed by a demon. The exorcism scenes are really intense and spine - chilling. And 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson is a great choice too. The way the house seems to have a life of its own and the psychological horror it creates is very effective.

One such book is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It tells a powerful story about racial injustice in a small Southern town through the eyes of a young girl, Scout. The characters are vivid and the plot is both engaging and thought - provoking.

One of the well - loved children story books is 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint - Exupéry. It's a story full of deep meaning about friendship, love, and the nature of adults from a child's perspective. And 'Peter Pan' is also very popular. It brings the magical world of Neverland to life, with Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and the Lost Boys.

One such book is 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain. It tells the story of a mischievous boy named Tom Sawyer growing up along the Mississippi River. His adventures include getting into trouble at school, falling in love, and searching for hidden treasure. It's full of humor and vivid descriptions of life in the 19th - century American South.

The 'Harry Potter' series can also be considered for older kids. It's filled with magic, adventure, and complex characters. The story follows Harry Potter as he discovers his wizarding heritage and battles against the dark forces, which can inspire kids' imagination and sense of courage.

Another one is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's set in the 1920s and tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy man who throws extravagant parties in the hope of winning back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. It's a tragic love story that also shows the hollowness of the Jazz Age society.
