Why is this a "debate" topic? Seems to me personal preference is just that,
preference, not a debatable thing. So this thread belongs in .fun. Can we
debate that? :-)

I would go with the Heinlein juveniles as a group.
"Have spacesuit, will travel" , "The Star Beast", "The Rolling
Stones", "Podkayne of Mars", and others, including, believe it or
not, "Starship Troopers" which was written as a juvie.
Also, Jack London's "White Fang" and "Call of the Wild" and "Sea Wolf" all of
which I read when young although they may not be considered non adult at this
point.
My daughter reads a lot of Animorphs but that stuff is like cotton candy, spun
out in large quantities but not a lot of substance there.
