Hi, I have a current y9 dd who enjoys English.
She's about average and enjoys comprehension.
We are looking for a book we can all read together over summer holidays that is GCSE level with something to get stuck into.
In the past we studied Lord of the flies and Animal farm, we choose a book each holiday.
Do you recommend looking at a book from the syllabus if they fancy a particular one, or is it best left for school for study.
Currently has her eye on 1984, but I know it's on her syllabus as a school choice.
Any suggestions and/or advice on whether to cover works they will do at school.
