Recommend a book under 150 pages

[peach]

my library has a summer reading club and this is one of the tasks on the list. None of the books on my " to read" list are that short. Any suggestions?

Books I enjoyed:
A Study in Scarlet
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Little Prince
The Awakening
Ellen Foster

Books I read because I had to, but would not necessarily recommend:
Frankenstein
The Old Man and the Sea
Heart of Darkness
Billy Budd

There are a good number of lists if you Google "Books Under 150 Pages"

I was going to suggest The Awakening as well.

This is Water by David Wallace: this is a commencement speech he gave that was really, truly great. Makes you think and isn't stuffy at all!

84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Handful - this is a non-fiction book that is a compilation of letters between American writer Helene and a bookshop owner in London, Frank (and a few others). It's quick, delightful, and interesting since it's all real.

I think The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman may fit this category.

I should have checked first. GR has it at 178. Womp womp.

In honor of Elie Wiesel who just passed away you could read his book Night.

Shopgirl by Steve Martin. It has been a long time since I read it, but I remember enjoying it.

I read Fantastic Mr. Fox for this category. I read it with my 6 year old.

My library has the same category for the summer reading program.  I was going to read Night but the wait list is huge.

Not sure how long it is, but I've requested "BFG" from my Library before I see the movie. I haven't read that book since Elementary school.

The Great Gatsby is 180 pages which is over your limit, but not by much.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is under 100 pages. I read that for a book club challenge earlier this year.
