The novel depicts the life of a humble orphan, Pip, who is taken to the Satis House by his Uncle Pemblechook. Through his journey, we see the struggles of the lower class, a glimpse at the life of the upper class, and are forced to see the gaping difference between the two. 

At its heart, a bildungsroman, Great Expectations is a sweeping tale of love, guilt, redemption, and enigma.

• 1984- This classic by George Orwell critiques authoritarian government regimes and develops important critical thinking in young teens, preparing them to question and think about a world of non-consensual surveillance. This book given its content and questions is relevant for all times and for people of all ages.
