Don't know if it's in your class curriculum, but Animal Farm would be a good read. Lots of history behind it as well that you could research on the net.

Heart of Darkness. Use the time you saved by not giving us the courtesy of spelling and punctuation to look up the author. Remember: The rules of writing are to make things easier for the reader, not the writer. You should do the work so we won't have to.

The Red Badge of Courage is a very quick read and is full of hilarious situations.

lilshorty, I'm not familiar with the American school grades. How old are you and are you male or female?

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger pulled me in when I was in 9th grade.

Sounds like the Dick and Jane books would be appropriate for this kid.

My favorite book from 9th grade was Fahrenheit 451.

Definitely a good read, one of the better ones for that grade level.

Ouch! I was going to suggest "A Tale of Two Cities"

Damn, people! Yield! Hehe, I am always going to check my spelling around here. Anyway, Goodbye, Columbus is a pretty easy read, and it's only about 130 pages. And I've never found anybody who thought Vonnegut was a hard read.
