“@Legit_bacon @mcannonbrookes Looking forward to it. I know it's cliche, but LotR is my favorite book ever :) Want to see the set and take my kids on tour of greater NZ. | Loved The Lord of the Rings and other fiction when younger. | Q: Any book recommendations for young Adult,s PG: The Lord of the Rings | The book that I?ve most often read. | The book that I’ve most often read. | The classic novel I always give. | The gift that keeps on giving. Remember that there are two books that can greatly influence teenaged boys: Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is about a fantasy world whose unrealism can seriously warp your personality and outlook. The other is about orcs.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Recommended by 51 sources.
“A quick, dreamy fable about a shepherd chasing treasure who finds wisdom instead. The prose is easy, almost childlike, and the story moves through symbolic encounters that each deliver a lesson about listening to your heart. You’ll underline a few lines if you’re open to its message, but the charm fades if you bristle at repeated aphorisms. The main limitation: it can feel like a beautifully wrapped box of motivational quotes—inspiring to some, trite to others.”
