What books are worth reading at 15

It is difficult to get a fifteen-year-old teenager to do what he does not like. He is forced to read at school, and then there are parents with their instructions. Despite this, the formation of personality at this age should gain momentum.

Classic

Surely, not a single student, having graduated from school, was able to master the entire school curriculum in terms of reading for the summer and beyond. This is impossible simply physically, especially when a teenager has so many other hobbies and little worries. Nevertheless, school assignments for the summer of reading books at least somehow stimulate the development of the student. Classical works, regardless of whether they are asked at school or not, is the basis, a foundation, which is absolutely necessary for building a competent person. It is clear that no student in his right mind will sit down to read Dostoevsky or Bulgakov himself. If there are such, then - units. Usually, these classics come meaningfully much later. And yet, it is necessary. Let the child not be able to realize the whole meaning of the work, but at least have an idea about it. You can dilute this reading with discussion with parents, discussion on these topics, and so on. Strange as it may seem, the problems raised in classical works are relevant to this day. Perhaps the child will even find in them the answers to his current questions.

Adventure

At the age of fifteen, I don’t feel like reading something boring and tedious; for modern teens, give action and adventure, adventure stories. Fortunately, the literary heritage provided everything necessary. For example, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain, “The Hobbit” by Tolkien, “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe, “Treasure Island” by Robert Stevenson, “Children of Captain Grant” and generally all the books of Jules Verne, Mine Reed and his “Headless Horseman”, "Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas and many others.

Fairy tales

Despite the fact that the child is already fifteen, it is still a child. And he still believes or wants to believe in fairy tales. In addition, everything is easy, calm and kind in them. Modern authors also have excellent tales, for example, the little-known Harry Potter. Let the children better read it first, and then look. There is a kind of classic in the fairy genre. "Peppy Long Stocking", "Toddler and Carlson, who lives on the roof", "The Little Prince", "Mowgli" - all these books are read generations of children.
