1. The Bible – As the Word of the Creator of the universe it is sometimes heavy-going in parts, brutally honest about human nature and is uncommonly crystal clear about what God requires of humanity, you and I. But that is not the surprising part. The surprising part is how funny it can be (we are a reflection of our Creator after all; we have a sense of humour because He does), how practical a lot of the advice is (contrary to popular perception – check our Proverbs if you want proof, or any of the New Testament books) and most surprising of all, the incomprehensible amount of mercy and grace in its pages, communicating the love God has for humanity despite our obvious undeservingness.
2. The Stories from East High books, which are based on the High School Musical franchise. This might seem an unlikely candidate, but the books are surprisingly well-written and (in my opinion) richly delve into the characters as they are presented in the canon. Well worth a read if you’re a fan of the movies.
3. The Malcolm in the Middle books – Just like the HSM books, these present new storylines using the world and characters of the canon. Will appeal especially to boys, as they centre the experiences of boys (in a lower middle class American environment).
