Flatland (illustrated version)
by Edwin A. Abbott
Karl, I believe Danny's point was not that ALL high schoolers will not grasp the importance of this book but that the one-star reviewer was in fact mentally immature, possibly in high school. I am pained that you claim to understand a complex reading such as this book and yet fail to distinguish a specific comment from a general stereotype.

Around the World in 80 Days
by Jules Verne
An exciting romp around the world. You have to imagine what the world was like in the era of steam and telegraphs to really get the feel of the book, but the excentric Mr. Fogg leads his growing group of unlikely travelers from train to ship to train to elephant and through many ingenious twists to try and win a wager.
