1. The Book Thief

《偷书贼》 作者：Markus Zusak

二战时期的德国，小女孩莉赛尔生活在慕尼黑远郊的寄养家庭中。战乱中，她发现了一种让她难以抗拒的东西——书。在养父的帮助下，她学会了读书，并将偷来的书籍与邻居，以及躲在她家地下室的犹太人一同分享…… 获颁美国图书馆协会Pintz奖、荣获2006年Book Sense儿童文学类年度选书等多个奖项。 该书也被翻拍成了同名电影《偷书贼》The Book Thief (2013)。

Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

2. Charlotte's Web

《夏洛的网》 作者：E.B. White

在朱克曼家的谷仓里，快乐地生活着一群动物，其中小猪威尔伯和蜘蛛夏洛建立了最真挚的友谊。然而，一个消息打破了谷仓的平静：威尔伯未来的命运竟是成为熏肉火腿。作为一只猪，绝望悲痛的威尔伯似乎只能接受任人宰割的命运了，然而，看似渺小的蜘蛛夏洛却说：“我救你。”于是，夏洛用自己的蛛丝在猪栏上织出了被人类视为奇迹的蛛网文字，彻底逆转了威尔伯的命运。但此刻，蜘蛛夏洛的生命却走到了尽头…… 这本书在国外家喻户晓，在国内大家可能知道更多的是那部同名电影。讲述的看似只是一只蜘蛛和小猪的故事，却关乎友谊、爱、生命与死亡，写给孩子，也写给大人。

Readers are still drawn to the simplicity and beauty of arachnid Charlotte’s devotion to her pig pal Wilbur. Though family farms may be less common than they were in 1952, E.B. White’s novel remains timeless for its enduring meditation on the power of friendship and of good writing.

3. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

《一个印第安少年的超真实日记》

作者: Sherman Alexie

14岁的少年阿诺出生于美国的印第安保留区，他希望靠自己的力量掌握未来，于是离开了村落，来到富裕小镇上的白人学校就读。在那里，他成了异类，全校只有两名印第安人：一个是他，另一个是学校的吉祥物塑像……

书中故事是作者根据自己的亲身经历改编的，既能让你热泪盈眶又能让你捧腹大笑，读起来就像捧起了一本私人日记。

你能从这名少年悲喜交集的生活中感受到文化差异的困境，又能被他勇敢挣脱命运、面对挑战的决心所感动。该书曾获得2007年“美国国家图书奖”，2008年“波士顿环球报好书奖”，2008年“华盛顿图书奖”，2008年美国青少年图书馆协会年度最佳图书等十多个奖项。

Bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.

4. A Wrinkle in Time

《时间的皱纹》 作者：Madeleine L'Engle

你或许听说过《小王子》，但还不知道这本脑洞大开的《时间的皱纹》。有读者评价它“就像是《星际穿越》的童话版”，这是一部集科学、幻想、神秘主义于一身的历险故事。讲述了小姑娘Meg 和有神奇力量的弟弟 Charles Wallace, 以及他们的新朋友Calvin在神秘女巫的帮助下，通过“时间的皱褶”进入另一个星球，援救他们被困父亲的惊险历程。 该书曾获1963年纽伯瑞奖(Newberry Award)，并于1964年荣获了世界儿童文学界公认的最高荣誉——安徒生奖 (Hans Christian Anderson Award)。

This surrealist adventure has provided generations of children with their first-ever mind-blowing experiences, as Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe travel across the fifth dimension in search of Meg’s father. But the sci-fi also has a message: Meg learns self-sufficiency and bravery in the process.

5. Harry Potter (series)

《哈利 波特》系列 作者：J.K. Rowling

《哈利 波特》系列小说及电影完结后，每逢听到一小点儿关于哈利?波特或罗琳的小道消息，麻瓜们仍旧会格外激动。或许正如哈利、赫敏、罗恩的孩子们依旧从九又四分之三站台开始了霍格沃茨之旅一般，多少年后，我们也会让自己的孩子捧起这部小说，看他们再次为魔法世界而兴奋和感动。

What more can be said about this iconic franchise? How about this: seven years after the final volume was published, readers young and old still go crazy at the slightest rumor of a new Potter story.
