Year 7: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (most people have read this)
Year 8: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (was borderline okay), Northen Lights (EW fantasy), Lord of the Flies (conceptually interesting), Merchant of Venice (average, didn't really care)
Year 9: (read Pride and Prejudice in January holidays. intially could not get into it- probably read chapter one about 15 times. ended up lovingit. I am now an Austen girl) Wuthering Heights (gothic romantic classic), The Chocolate War (sounds very year 5 but is explicitly high school-ness), 1984 (modern classic; orwell is genius), Jane Eyre (girly but gothicy classic), Emma (very good austen; arguably the best; clueless is loose adaptation!) Romeo and Juliet (loved it. everyone should watched Luhrmann's film version with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes- you will either love it or hate it. i am now a shakespare girl) To Kill a Mockingbird (brilliant)
Year 10: To Kill A Mockingbird (again), The Color Purple (graphic, racist issues, feminist-y american novel), The Catcher in the Rye (found it amazing. 2nd on the banned books list), Macbeth (am about to start studying it.)
I love English, am an English nerd, so really find most novels (except fantasy. yes, i am a bit weird like that) quite enjoyable...
