Not all books recommended on this page are necessarily in the library, nor are they always recommended for all high school students. These are more recommendations of really good books for adults and mature high school students. CVS Library Dragon maintains that all books on this list are a recommendation and not required reading and that reading them is at your own leisure and risk and (if you are a mature student) at the permission of your parents. Links take you out to Amazon for a description of that book, however, the high school library does have some of these. Asterisks (*) indicate library ownership.
