what books should i get my 12 year old sister to read? Anonymous Wed Mar 11 13:58:13 2020 No.14872522 [Reply] [Original]

she likes reading and is done with all the classics for kids (harry potter, agatha christie, lord of the flies etc). she’s pretty smart so i thought she could handle crime and punishment but i guess that was a big miscalculation from me. she wasn’t too into brave new world when i gave that to her either. what books should i get her to read to help her as a stepping stone?
pls no CitR, giving her that would be the equivalent of telling her to listen to panic at the disco and it would probably set her back a year.

No problem, I'd say your best bets of that list for a 12yo girl who just finished reading stuff like Harry Potter and Agatha Christie would be The Alchemist, The Book Thief, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. If she likes those, then work through the rest, as those are pretty easy and straight-forwardly entertaining books. Best of luck, anon.
