Two classic books from school that are definitely due for a re-read

A good book can do just about anything; from taking you on a wild and fantastical adventure to making you feel like an all-knowing super sleuth. Here are a few great classic books curated by the Readplot review team for you to enjoy.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Enigmatic, intriguing and fabulously wealthy, Jay Gatsby throws lavish parties at his West Egg mansion to impress Daisy Buchanan, the object of his obsession, now married to bullish Tom Buchanan.Over a Long Island summer, his neighbour Nick Carraway, a writer and a cousin to Daisy, looks on as Gatsby and Daisy’s affair deepens.

Matilda by Roald Dahl

Matilda is the world's most famous bookworm, but definitely not thanks to her ghastly parents. Her father thinks she's a little scab. Her mother spends all afternoon playing bingo. Her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, is the worst of all - a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey.

Despite these beastly grownups trying to push her down, Matilda is an extraordinary girl with a magical mind. A great read for everyone in the family!
