Mumsnet recommendations really served my children well throughout primary and early secondary years. Then phones and lockdown wiped out their good reading habits.

DD is almost 16 and in y11. She's being urged to read (esp classics) by the teacher and tutor.
She hates, and has always hated classics. Is there a good modern day classic you'd suggest in terms of it being engaging? She loves a good non-put-downable.

Thanks

Mine is enjoying murder mysteries - modern ones like One of us is lying and also Agatha Christie
They hated the classics that were set for GCSE
