There have been lots of threads, but it is hard to find them as the search terms return too many results. There is a thread here, and if you scroll through the "English" section rather than General 11 plus, you may well find more.

Anything they want. Not literally, but I would avoid certain 'classics' like the plague. Preparation for the exam is stressful enough, so why not turn quiet reading time into a chance for relaxation while absorbing new vocabulary. I would rather see a girl enjoying Jacqueline Wilson than struggling through Jane Austen. Same for whatever the boy equivalents are.
