Re: I need book recommendations for a 12-year-old girl. Not fantasy. At all. Camilla Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 11:48:03 PM
It's all she reads and I'm trying to get her to read other things.

I've got The Giver by Lois Lowry for her, but I need something else.

She's precocious, so her reading level is way above 12, but her innocence level is (as I think) where it should be. I do not want to get her anything that's going to bother her to read.

She read Daughter of the Empire by Janny Wurts and Raymond E Feist recently and found some of the scenes with Mara and Buntokapi (I've forgotten how to spell his name) properly disturbing. So she's not ready to read about sex stuff yet.

Is that enough info?

I second your first request. I need to read some good history. I've not read any this year. Rebekah - 19/11/2010 07:12:04 PM 834 Views
I haven't read any of the Rasputin biographies. Jacob - 19/11/2010 08:00:07 PM 699 Views

I am a little annoyed Camilla - 20/11/2010 01:33:30 PM 751 Views
That is a good rant and question. Jacob - 22/11/2010 04:24:26 PM 738 Views
Okay. I've got another one. I need good thrillers/detectives/mystery/romance. Legolas - 21/11/2010 06:16:33 PM 746 Views
A couple of suggstions: Rebekah - 21/11/2010 06:26:49 PM 840 Views
Ahern was fairly lambasted as far as I am aware Stephen - 22/11/2010 12:54:43 AM 689 Views
Was that by readers of that particular genre, or more by "serious" critics? Rebekah - 22/11/2010 07:34:24 AM 684 Views
Not all of those are available in the library/bookstores here, but some are. Thanks! *NM* Legolas - 25/11/2010 03:42:24 PM 338 Views
Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia Grey Mysteries? Kristen - 22/11/2010 12:30:37 AM 661 Views
