Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 where the other two required readings I liked in HS. Everything else was meh. I especially didnt like The Great Gatsby.

I don't have a ton of flexibility but I could do either Animal Farm or LotF. I chose the latter.
Have to admit I kinda liked 'I am the cheese' by Robert Comier when I was at school... I'll always remember that twisted ending.

I haven't read much by Cormier but I have read Heroes which is great. I taught it in 8th grade one year though with the subject matter, I maybe shouldn't have. I simply fet my kids were mature enough to handle it and it was very good literature that they'd also enjoy. I highly recommend this. It's an easy read, short and should stick with you.
I read LOTF in like 5th grade but it was never a required reading at any point in school for me.
