Most young teens can read adult novels.
Their reading skills are well enough developed that the words on the pages are not a problem. What needs to be considered then is the experience and understanding needed by the reader to make sense in what he's read. These books were selected to serve as bridges from Children's to Adult Literature. Through Heathcliff's obsessive passion for Cathy, readers are introduced to a theme that has attracted artists for centuries. A work of towering genius, read by young teens for its wild and eccentric romanticism.
