Sophie's World (20th Anniversary Edition)

by Jostein Gaarder

Fourteen-year-old Sophie finds two mysterious notes in her letterbox asking big questions: who are you, and where does the world come from? From there, a teacher leads her through the history of philosophy, from ancient Greece onwards, while strange things start happening around her. It is a novel and a gentle introduction to big ideas all at once, and thoughtful teens and adults will love talking about it afterwards.
