I got a level seven in reading in my SAT's exam, and my teacher says that I need something to stretch myself. Can anyone reccomend a book for me to read at school?

Franz Kafka, The Metamorphisis.
It is about a man who wakes up and is a cockroach.
I would start reading all the classics. Or check what the reading lists are for your local colleges.

The Jungle by Uptin Sinclair, not sure on the spelling of the first name. This book is important for young people to read and understand how the world was once b4 the time of social security. It used to be required reading, as it used to be taught exactly what progaganda is. Both these things will be important for you and your mates to know in a future filled with leaders owned by large companies who are more interested in making money and having power than they are having earth be a nice place to live. It is short, well written and contains information that is accurate about how things were and might be again if we do not wake up.

Read Ulysses, by James Joyce. That will stretch anyone. You might want to start with Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man before you try Ulysses.

I had to read Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy when I was in level 7 SATs... it's an interesting story but the written style is kind of hard to get your head around.
Can I name classics you should read throughout your school years (and life) for the sake of it?
The curious incident of the dog in the night by Mark Haddon, and Of mice and Men by John Steinbeck! :)
Good luck.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a good book for your SAT's. I read this book when I was at school. It is also available on film.

Seriously, not meanly, I would recommend (not reccomend)
a spelling book of the most misspelled words in the English
language. It will help you immensely through the course of your
lifetime. Good spelling leads to great reading. Good luck !
