Hi family!

I need some good advice. As some of you know I teach English. I've been trying to find really good interesting classics for the kids to read that will get them interested in reading books. I've found that a lot of the kids just don't like books at all, so it's really hard to get them motivated in something that is kind of dry or boring. This year I've chosen some books that have gone over very well -- The Old Man and the Sea (Hemingway), To Kill a Mockingbird (Lee), and And Then There Were None (Christie).

So I'm asking you all - is there a really good book that you would recommend for grades 9-12 that would be thought provoking, good for a Christian school and for both guys and girls.
