Classics for a reluctant teen?

DD14 is an avid reader but tends to go for pretty lightweight stuff, I don't really care as I'm just happy she's reading but her school report suggested she try to balance this with some more classics as she starts GCSE.

I'm not especially up on adult classics although I've read most children's, but I know many of them would put her off straight away due to the dated or complex language. Can anyone suggest something classic that's maybe a bit easier and might tempt her to read more of this kind of book?

1984 - lots of students have loved this.
