What books should I buy for my 13 years old female niece? She's interested in books but she doesn't like fantasy, and I wanna give her classics before someone else ruins her life with feminist and YA novels.

Jane Austen. That was what I was into at that age. Or maybe Anna Karenina or Madame Bovary. Brontës too. It really depends on her reading level. Having been a 13 year old girl at some point recently, I can say that it's an age of wanting slightly romantic things. It's only once you hit high school and find out about the reality of dating that you go to other books.
