I know a lot of people read Catherine MacPhail...she's very popular! Haven't read the others yet but I will.
I know that To Kill a Mockingbird is doing the rounds at the moment, and The Book Thief too.
I want everyone to be reading a proper novel, or longer book (you could also read play scripts, books of poetry or biographies).
I have also heard that Invictus is very good!

Boys Dont Cry- Malorie Blackman (really good)
What Katie Did- Susan Coolidge
Sense And Sensibility- Jane Austen (Reading that right now)
David Copperfield- Charles Dickens (Seen film as well, book very good)
Moby Dick- Herman Melville
All very good books, especially David Copperfield- the film is very touching!

Really? I have to say, if you liked Jane Austen, my favourite is Northanger Abbey. It is fabulous!
Also, I know you'll all be missing English. Hope you're all finishing/you all will be finished Goodnight Mister Tom Essays soon. This puts us back a bit, but, if it's any help, we'll be studying World War I poetry next (in particular, 'Dulce et Decorum Est' by Wilfred Owen).
Hope you're all enjoying your unscheduled days off!

Paddy Clarke ha ha ha - Very funny especially for immature boys of my age Before I die - Sad but very good Dr Dolittle - My favourite book so childish yet so brilliant |

Excellent choices! I also really like 'How I Live Now' by Meg Rosoff, 'Life As We Knew It', 'The Dead and the Gone' and 'The World We Live In' (Last Survivors series) which are all by Susan Pfeffer.
I am also an unashamed Harry Potter fan (books, not films) and if you haven't read it already, I'd recommend 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' by John Boyne, which is particularly affecting if you haven't already seen the film.
These are all books for people your age - I'm a big kid myself really!

LADY- Melvin Burgess- Pretty good
Keys to the repository- Melissa de la Cruz- Good if you read the other books by her as well.
Everything Beautiful- Simone Howell- Good read.
Christy Miller Collection- Robin Jones Gunn- Good for girls.
Rhymes with witches- Lauren Myracle- Quite good for girls.
Mother's Ruin- Kitty Neale- Very sad but touching.
Waters of the Heart- Doris Davidson- Very good, but an adult book as some parts are quite graphic. Made me want to cry at some parts but VERY well written.
;D
