One book I read more than once between ages 10-14 was Little Women, which is about of young women in the 1860s and I was a dude in the 1980s at the time. Stop underestimating young people's ability to connect with older lit!!!

One of the books I read most obsessively as a kid (more than 12x) was A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, written in 1943 and set at the beginning of the 1900s.
I learned a lot, and anything I didn’t immediately understand I looked up. Stop underestimating young people’s ability to connect with older lit!
