«The Birds» is the graded horror reader by Daphne du Maurier and Derek Strange in the Penguin Readers series (level 2), in paperback.
In this horror story, after a very hard winter with little food, the birds turn hostile: first the gulls, then the birds of prey, and finally the small birds. A man and his family try to survive as the attacks continue; this nightmare inspired Alfred Hitchcock's famous movie.

For English students who want to approach a classic of suspense with a graded reader.
