The Hobbit will transport you to Middle-earth where you’ll accompany Bilbo Baggins on an unforgettable adventure filled with trolls, elves, dragons, and of course, the magical ring. Tolkien’s prose, while rich, maintains a lively pace and accessible vocabulary that will allow you to enjoy the story without feeling overwhelmed.
Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl is a shorter but equally delightful option. With its characteristic humor and unforgettable characters, this story about a clever fox who faces three evil farmers will win you over from beginning to end.
If you prefer a more symbolic reading, Animal Farm is a brilliant political fable where farm animals revolt against humans. Beneath its apparent simplicity lies a profound social critique that will make you reflect while improving your English.
These three books share clear yet sophisticated language, ingenious plots, and memorable characters, making them perfect for intermediate students who want to celebrate Sant Jordi with a good read in English.
