Any ideas for 13 year old reading level (girls)? Like mystery, some drama

Try to keep her in the 9-12 section of a store— in teen, books may contain graphic sex and violence. There are plenty of great reads in 9-12 that are filled with drama, mystery and the like. As a manager in a bookstore, I think you should take her in and let her discuss her likes and dislikes and together the seller and your 13 yr old will find great solutions.

This series was my favorite at that age!

Vikki

John Grisham’s young adult series, Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer. Wonderful!

Crystal

Princess diaries by meg cabot

Robin

Is she a rising 8th grader? She could probably start Sue Grafton or Agatha Christie. When I was her age I read Daphne du Maurier’s “Rebecca” for
the first time and it has been my lifelong favorite!

Robin

My daughter’s “all school” assigned book for her middle school is called Refugee by Alan Gratz and it was an AMAZING book.

Cara

Inkheart; Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children; the Atticus Claw books?

Robin

Don’t discount Miss Peregrine because of the creepy pictures. It is NOT a creepy story! More like a superhero story with a gothic edge.

Jenni

Miss Peregrine books would be perfect. Also Mysterious Benedict Society. 🙂

Cara

Yep, my 12 and 10-yr-old girls love them. 🙂

Cara

Also Nevermoor, and Boy Underwater (recommended by my 12-yr-old).

Michelle

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. It’s a series of 3 if she likes it. I loved it. It’s not YA but it’s clean and so very good.

Pam

A Wrinkle in Time is book 1 of 5 by L’Engle. And the Michael Scott Alchemist Series.

Roslyn

Elizabeth George has a mystery series for teens.

Melissa

The Glass Castle ~ not a mystery but was my daughter’s favorite book in middle school.

Aura

I just finished reading I Am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall and I really liked it. Its a survivalist story about a girl who finds herself alone in the backwoods of Alaska/Canada.

Sheryl

My reading was never censored. Take her to your local library and let her find her bliss.

Debra

Ruth

I remember discovering Mary Stewart’s romantic suspense novels when I was about that age. One of my favorites was The Moon-Spinners which was made into a Disney movie. If she likes mysteries, I would also recommend Mary Higgins Clark. Though written for adults, they are tame enough for younger readers.

Cat

Honestly, I don’t remember what I was reading when I was 13. Times have changed; authors have changed. I may have been reading Victoria Holt, Philippa Carr, Helen Wells (Cherry Ames series), I know I read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, too.

Glenda

I asked my bookworm 12 year old granddaughter and she suggested: Jk Rowling:Harry Potter
James Patterson: middle school series

Maryann

Nancy Drew Babysitters Club

Jane

Lucille

There’s a reading level and an interest level. Some 13 year olds are ready for more adult themes. I’d try some nonfiction and memoir.

Karen

Agatha Christie.

Dawn

The Elsewhere Book series
