Year 9 Reading List This is intentionally a varied list for varied readers.

Some of those to be found in the Young Adult section


may be quite disturbing and some novels and short
stories on this list are books for adults rather than
children as many students are beginning to widen
their reading habits at this point. You might want to
be aware of this when making choices. Any queries,
please ask.
