i read the summer i turned pretty series when i was younger and they're pretty easy to read and the story is so good and jenny han is a great writer. hope if you suggest that to her she likes it!


Morrigan Crow? Or the Murder Most Unladylike series


You should try keeper of the lost cities by Shannon Messenger




Read a few of these and would love to read again

Honestly this is so real"
Real

If you’re a reader you probably know all the best. The Little House series, cherry Ames series, Trixie Beldan series, Nancy Drew. I know these are oldies, but their stories are good. No worries of sex, violence, profanity
, just good, wholesome stories! Good luck! 👍

I love all of these books


The Babysiters Club series and Emily Windsnap series are great books I read when I was about her age!

Fablehaven, Land of Stories, The Last Apprentice!!!

A few series I loved when I was that age were the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (still one of my faves), Legend by Marie Lu, and the Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. Also, the Percy Jackson books are a modern classic for middle grade books!

I used to love Harry Potter as a child, doesn't hurt to start with a classic :) And I think that the books by Kerstin Gier (Edelstein-trilogy and Silber, they have been translated to English) are superfun for that age too!!

I recommend Enola Holmes, Anne of Green Gables, & The Winnie Years by Lauren Myracle. :) One of them is called "Eleven".



The granddaughter FINALLY picked up "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and now can't put it down. She likes stuff about magic, dragons, pets, animals...she's read all the Harry Potter books. I have a set of the Hunger Games ready for her, if she wants to read them. Her teacher read aloud "The Giver" and I just ordered a copy for myself (can't believe I've never read it) and also read them "Number the Stars", which she loved. Hope this helps.

ME TOOOOO. ALL THE SAME THINGS!!"
I want to read The Hunger Games. I have the series for the granddaughter, but I might read them first!


The Unwanteds.

Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger! My favorite when I was her age :)

Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, the Pegasus series by Kate O'Hern, The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer, and The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson are all series that got me into reading

"The Land of Stories" series by Chris Colfer. I adored that series!
