Which classics for DD (14)

DD will be starting year 10 in September and her teacher has suggested she reads some classics to extend her reading. She loves reading but like me prefers thrillers/mystery with a fast paced story.

With the change in GCSE English she will be reading more classics anyway but I don't whether to encourage her now to see if she enjoys the style of writing, or whether this will put her off in advance.

Any suggestions of what to start with would be great thanks.

I think Rebecca and To kill a Mockingbird as first classic reads for a young lady.
They are not overly big books and have a fab story.
