Heres a pick thats both timeless and practical.

Enjoy Charles Dickens&;s classic novel of a young orphan boy in a colorful graphic edition. Abridged for fast-paced reading, this book features illustrations that vividly tell the tale. Orphaned as soon as he is born, Oliver Twist miraculously survives years of neglect, hunger, and violence. Then, on his eighth birthday, he&;s taken to the workhouse . . . where his troubles are really about to begin. Will someone ever rescue him?

A little something to look forward to using.
