The 20,000 leagues under the sea

I've read a book called 20,000 leagues under the sea. It was a great story! So much imagination and adventure. I want to read more books like it, i like classic a lot so as classic as possible. I'm 13 years old so no big vocabulary please! Thank you

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by "lewis CArroll" is indeed a classic and a fun place to start. it does not lack imagination at all as it is a work of nonsense.

do not be turned away by it's title or the horrible Disney adaptation that has followed it. there is plenty of excitement, illustrations, poems, and witty word play to enjoy.

and it is a classic, written and still read from 1865

Fr_Chuck, it's "Swiss Family Robinson", but you are right - a good book.

"Treasure island", "Kidnapped" and " The Black Arrow" by Robert Lewis Stevenson

"The Prince and the Pauper," by Mark Twain


Survivorboi, if you find a book you like, try other books by the same author. KeepitSimpe has correctly suggested "Around the World in 80 Days, by Jules Verne the eauthor of "20,000 Leagues..." . Verne also wrote, "Journey to the Center of the Earth", " Mysterious Island" and "Michael Strogoff" to name a few.

You gain vocabulary through reading so don't be too afraid to try more difficult books. If they don't work out, set them aside to try later. As you get a bit older, try "The Three Musketeers" and "The Man in the Iron Mask" (in that order, they go together somewhat) and "The Count of Monte Christo" - all by Alexandre Dumas.

Have fun and good luck.
