It was started by the National Education Association and was first held on March 2, 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Places like schools, libraries and community centers celebrate by holding events such as book fairs and live readings in order to foster a new generation of <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/vocab-expressions\/what-kind-of-nerd-is-your-student\/#Bookworm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bookworms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In honor of the day, we'd like to highlight nine books \u2014 ranging from classic to more modern \u2014 to recommend to young readers (or to their parents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014107\/RAD_book_1-1024x753.jpg\" alt=\"A girl reading while sitting outside of a bookstore\" class=\"wp-image-6161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014107\/RAD_book_1-1024x753.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014107\/RAD_book_1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014107\/RAD_book_1-768x565.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1950) - C.S. Lewis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This fantasy novel is part of a larger series of works called <em>The Chronicles of Narnia<\/em>. It tells the story of four British children in a world of magical creatures and talking animals. The children struggle to save the land from the control of the evil White Witch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This novel is included in several lists of the best books of all time for young adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>The Phantom Tollbooth<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1961) - Norton Juster<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this fantasy novel, a boy named Milo uses a magic tollbooth to travel to a place called the Kingdom of Wisdom. There he has many strange experiences that give him a new appreciation for the power of letters and numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because one of the major themes of <em>The Phantom Tollbooth<\/em> is the importance of learning and the enjoyment that can come from it, this 1961 novel is a solid recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>A Wrinkle in Time<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1962) - Madeleine L'Engle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When her scientist father mysteriously disappears, 13-year-old Meg starts on an incredible journey through time and space to find him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A Wrinkle in Time<\/em> contains elements of fantasy as well as science-fiction. When it was completed in 1960, many companies refused to publish the book because of its female protagonist and the story's scientific and spiritual themes. In spite of this, it has gone on to be considered a classic, winning several awards and being adapted into two Disney films.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>A Wizard of Earthsea<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1968) - Ursula K. Le Guin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A Wizard of Earthsea<\/em>'s protagonist, Ged, has a magical duel with another student that results in the release of a powerful and dangerous creature. The story deals with themes such as responsibility, balance in nature, and the power of language to affect reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book was noteworthy for its time for featuring a hero with dark skin, making it very rare among other fantasy novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Charlotte Sometimes<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1969) - Penelope Farmer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Charlotte Sometimes<\/em> is a unique story about a young girl named Charlotte who mysteriously travels back in time every night and switches places with another girl named Clare. The two girls use a diary to communicate with each other, but the exchanges soon result in Charlotte struggling to keep control of her identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>The Golden Compass<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1995) - Philip Pullman<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The original name of this young adult novel is <em>Northern Lights<\/em>. It's the first in a trilogy of books focusing on a character named Lyra Belacqua, who travels the Arctic in search of her missing friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story has many fantastical elements, including \"d\u00e6mons,\" human souls that exist outside of the body and take the shape of animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book was adapted into the 2019 TV series <em>His Dark Materials<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014142\/RAD_book_2-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Two boys reading a large book\" class=\"wp-image-6162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014142\/RAD_book_2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014142\/RAD_book_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014142\/RAD_book_2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014142\/RAD_book_2-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/18014142\/RAD_book_2-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Holes<\/em><\/strong><strong> (1998) - Louis Sachar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Holes<\/em> tells the story of a teenager named Stanley who is accused of theft and is sent to a special boot camp in the desert.
