With most students starting their Christmas break next week, now is a great time to catch up on some reading. To help students choose their holiday read, our lead English tutor Milda has recommended a variety of books suitable for students of different ages. Bearing in mind that the Christmas break is a time to be shared with family, all the recommended books are ones that have also been turned into films - which means that the whole family can enjoy them this Christmas!
