Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
5.0

There is no better theme in literature than the one in this book--love, deserved, even to the point of saving a life. The ultimate story of this world through Christ and how we also should be. Beautiful.

“Why did you do all this for me?' he asked. 'I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.'
'You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.”
