Yes. There are sequels as well, two I think.
Well now you can!
Oh man, I have so many used books on my wishlists. Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America, Flowers for Algernon, A Clockwork Orange, and The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making are some of my most-wanted from my Under $6 wishlist :D I also have an entire books wishlist! Any of the books except for the children's books are great used! (I don't like used children's books just because they take a beating quickly)
The main character is younger than what you requested but the themes and writing are tailored to adults. It's not really childish at all but very fantastical, think Alice in Wonderland: Fairyland series by Catherynne M. Valente.
First book is The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making Amazon link
Funny. I've been avoiding the classics because they were written when conventions expected a heavier hand.
O.k. Try some stuff written within the last 20 years. I wish I could give you a more diverse list, but I've been playing catch up myself. That said, I've already read 20 books this year. The ones that weren't a waste were:
Equal Rites--Terry Pratchett He's a master at making a 4 level point with one sentence.
Good Omens- Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman This one is cool because a lot of people try to figure out who wrote what.
Besieged- Rowena Cory Daniels Kick-ass story. Great characterization. Descriptions snuck into the creases.
Wool-Hugh Howey O.k. I didn't read it this year, but it sucks you straight in. There's so much to learn about how Hugh made a fandom who demanded more material from him.
Another highly recommended book: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of her own Making This one has a strong, strong voice, but does a breath-taking job of describing imaginary things. Amazing stuff.
Sure would, and it's a good book. I loved the boxcar children but that may be too young.
