DD and a select group from her year have special literacy classes with the Head. So far they have read
1984
The Knife of Never Letting Go
Great Expectations
Things Fall Apart
Next, they are doing The Inheritors.
She is getting a bit depressed! These books seem to be sorely focussed on the dark side of life/society etc.
We are trying to think of books which are of the ilk, but a little more optimistic.
Any ideas?
