As I'm making purchase selections I thought it would be nice to add classics to our small but growing fiction section. What would be appropriate classics to include in a young adult, grades 9-12, church library? Looking for a top five or top ten to build on through the years. Any suggestions?

You might want to add the following two as well:
1) Robinson Crusoe
2) Heidi
A few that we have and that I have seen as I checked the catalogs of other church libraries are:
Catherine Marshall
Christy (DVD series also available)
Julie
C. S. Lewis
Chronicles of Narnia (DVD series also available)
Louisa May Alcott
Little Women
Little Men
Jo's Boys
Elizabeth George Speare
Witch of Blackbird Pond
Sign of the Beaver
The Bronze Bow
Wilson Rawls
Where the Red Fern Grows (DVD series also available)
John Bunyan
Pilgrim's Progress (J edition available)
Add some biographies such as
Jim Elliott: Shadow of the Almighty
Corrie Ten Boom: The Hiding Place
I'm sure there must be many more. I look forward to seeing what others suggest!
