Recommended Reading List – Year 9
There is a good selection of recommended reads below to broaden your horizons
and expand your mind. However, you do not need to stick to this list: if you enjoy a
book by a particular author, then find another one that they have written. There is
also focus on fiction titles, but there is a lot of good non-fiction out there. If you
would like some more advice about non-fiction ask Mrs Zoltie, the Librarian, or your
English Teacher. Your teacher may recommend other titles throughout the year.
