Hello all!

My school just asked for suggestions to improve our library. We’ve had so many suggestions but I’d love your opinions and suggestions...

This is for the middle school and high school library.. / secondary library.

Here’s what I got so far:
- A series of unfortunate events - by Lemony Snicket
- Agatha Christie Books
- A murder most unladylike series - the full set - by Robin Stevens
- The London Eye Mystery - by Shiobhan Dowd
- A journey to the center of the earth - by Jules Verne
- The adventures of Huckleberry Finn
- The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

All suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Sabriel/Abhorsen series by Garth Nix

Earthsea series by Ursual Le Guin (side note, anything by Ursula Le Guin is amazing)

The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou (probably better for grade 11-12, due to the content)
