PixTo Kill A Mockingbird captivates readers with its profound themes of morality and human behavior while maintaining a narrative that's easy to follow. The story grabs attention quickly through the inquisitive child protagonist.

Blayre OdenKafka's The Trial is very easy to read. It's actually a part of his literary technique to make things "simple" yet absurd. It is about a man who gets convicted of a crime but the crime is never said.

Kiersten ConnThis part of a collection of really simplified classics. You might actually want some a little less simplified since I read this in 5th grade, but you don't mind they these are made for children to read you could give it a try. In particular I remember really liking this one so this is the one I would recommend starting with.
