Books for Year 10 - our recommendations

Crossing the Line by Tia Fisher

Written in verse, this gritty and visceral narrative follows teenaged Erik who juggles a difficult home life, school work and the consequences of being groomed by and owing money to a dangerous county lines gang. Crossing the Line is a memorable story of manipulation that will be useful to read and discuss alongside anti-exploitation resources in PSHE and book clubs. Highly recommended. Read our full review.

This thought-provoking story follows 'A', who wakes up each day in a different body. 'A' knows not to change things or get too involved, until one day 'A' meets Rhiannon, who changes everything.

Books for Year 11 - our recommendations

Looking for Alaska by John Green

Teenager Miles' life is turned on its head when he meets Alaska and her world of risk and demanding friendship.

The Silver Chain by Jion Sheibani

16-year-old Azadeh seeks solace in her violin playing as she navigates a transition dealing with a new school, friendship difficulties and trouble at home. Compelling and intimate - The Silver Chain is a peek into random corners of her private world, with joyful humour, and bursts of raw candour. The variety of poetry and radiant graphic presentation makes this a wonderful book to become disorientated by. Highly recommended for KS4 - if the poem 'Keys' doesn't intrigue your year 11 students, perhaps no poetry ever will. Read our full review.

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

Perhaps Dickens' greatest novel features unforgettable characters as seen through the eyes of the ever-suffering David Copperfield.
