Books for 5th grade sister?

[Anonymous No.18090414]

Also looking for book recs for my 11 yr old sister. She read through the Maze Runner, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter series last year. I believe she's on YA romance books now lol. She's smart, so I'm looking for some books that inspire some insight. Any recommendations? Thanks

Get her a nice copy of Little Women. Something real fancy to help spark interest in more literary books. And when she's done you can watch the movie with her. :)

Peter Pan.
And anything from high school lists which are good, 11 year old smart girls are more like 17 year old lads in reading capacity and capability and she can do better than YA

Buy wonderfully beautiful hardcover atlases, illustrated encyclopedias of particular fields of study, wildlife field guides, etc... Combine this with immersion in the woods, gardening, and if possible the ocean or other bodies of water (snorkeling, swimming, freediving, very good skills) and she’ll hopefully have developed to appreciate and learn about the Book of Nature by using the Books of Men which would naturally lead to a more profound interest in literature and perhaps philosophy. Like how an illustrated Aristotle will have one pondering diagrams of marine shrimp into eventually contemplating philosophical categories and ethics and the like. A developed interest in nature, in reality, that will create a literary fascination—otherwise literature would just be insipid with time. What does one find in children’s libraries? Large sections of atlases, illustrated works of natural science, encyclopedia of whales, etc....I mean it wasn’t that much a jump to go from there to the Great Books and Augustine. Oh and show her the wonders of the microscope and telescope. If she becomes conscious that there are realities beyond observation she will be spiritual in no time
