I have put this in here as the children's book section didn't seem appropriate.
DD's English teacher has suggested that she stretch herself and have a go at some of the classics but we are struggling to come up with ideas.
She has read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, Tarka the Otter, Round the World in 80 Days, Harry Potter, Hitchhikers Guide (def a classic in DH's eyes :)) and probably a load more that we couldn't think of so what suggestions can wise, literary Mnettters come up with?
So far we have:
- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
- War of the Worlds
- Oliver Twist
- A Christmas Carol
- Of Mice and Men
- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
- Little Women
What else might challenge but engage a book-loving 12 year old?
