No other character in fiction has so completely captured teenage angst as Holden Caulfield. After your teen finishes the book, talk with her about whether she thinks the story ends on a hopeful or depressing note. (Literary critics have been battling that one out for years!)

Though it's a close race with Pride and Prejudice, we say Little Women reigns as queen of great books about the closeness of sisters. If you have two teen daughters, better get two copies.
