If you haven't, you might try The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I wouldn't call it "classic," but I remember having to read it in Jr. High. All her other books are fantastic, too. You might give Alice in Wonderland a try. It sounds like a kiddie book, but there's a lot to it. I studied it in college. I don't know how advanced you are, but Tennessee Williams wrote some great plays. Silas Marner by George Eliot is also a good book.

There are lots of "classics" so I'm not sure what you like.
Here are some that thirteen-year-olds have told me they liked.
Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Frankenstein, Interview with the Vampire, The Giver, Life of Pi.

My Wahglish (combination World American History & Geography and honors English) class is reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It is excellent.
