3 Book Series That Will Change Your Mind About Reading

If you have trouble with reading and want to find something that might click, check out some of these series.

"Percy Jackson and the Olympians"

The series starts with "The Lighting Thief" with the main character as none other than Percy Jackson. Percy is a son of Poseidon, one of the Greek gods. During each book, Percy heads on a quest to save the world from anything and everything you can imagine with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood. The author Rick Riordan allows each book to grow with the reader. The age range starts at 10 and as the books progress so does the reading level. He also has a second series with Percy that reaches a higher age, mostly in the teens.

"Divergent" Series


The series starts with "Divergent,"with the main character being Tris Prior. It follows Tris as she makes her journey of changing factions. The author Veronica Roth shows the main character as a strong girl who is ready to change the way her world sees things. She fights in the rebellion and eventually changes life as she knew it, all with the help of a boy named Four. The series is very motivational, especially considering the time period of change that we are in now.

" Harry Potter"


I know this is a given, but everyone needs to read this. This series is what got me into reading in the first place. Without the feeling of finding out what you are meant for, within the pages of this book, I may not want to have chosen the career path that I did. Harry and his friends are characters that are timeless and show the value of happiness. The books grow with you and never leave you even after you read the final page of the final book.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
