  1. Books by Rick Riordan - “Pain is an interesting thing. You think you have reached your limit and you can’t possibly feel more tortured. Then you discover there is still another level of agony. And another level after that.”

  2. Harry Potter series - “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

  3. Wonder - “Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.”

  4. Biggles! series - "Quick! Untie us before they realise you are not a God, you're just an American."

  5. The Hobbit - “It is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of love and kindness."

  6. Books by Michael Morpurgo - “Any problem can be solved between people if only they can trust each other”

  7. Lord of the Rings series - “Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

  8. The Corfu trilogy - "July had been blown out like a candle by a biting wind that ushered in a leaden August sky. A sharp, stinging drizzle fell, billowing into opaque grey sheets when the wind caught it." (Just one example of the great vocabulary in this book.)
