Back in high school many of us can remember how the English teacher used to insist that you read past journals, newspapers and most of all various literary works in order to polish one's mastery of the Queen's language.
As a result, there is that bunch of books that irrespective of the high school you went to you encountered whether you read them or not.
1. Moses Series
The Moses Series books are written by the late British-Ugandan author Barbara Kimenye who passed away in 2012.
The over 10 books that tell of a story of naughty boys in a boarding school were very popular among high school students as they augered well with day-to-day secondary school life.
Among the popular books in this series include Moses in Trouble and Moses in a Mess.
2. My Life in Crime
The hilarious book that tells of a true story in the world of crime is written by reformed gangster John Kiriamiti.
The book was almost a must-read for every high school student wherever you went.
3. Across the Bridge
The interesting novel that is almost similar to 'My Life in Crime' is written by Mwangi Gicheru. The book, however, has crime and romance as the central themes.
If there are books that many students read repeatedly or even sat down to read past midnight, this was undoubtedly among them.
4. Gifted Hands
The motivational book is written by the retired American neurosurgeon, Ben Carson. It tells the true story of Carson's humble and troubled childhood to become one of the most refined neurosurgeons.
Many students especially the average ones were encouraged to read the book to draw inspirations from Carson's story. But generally, the book was a must-read for almost everyone.
