I’m looking for book suggestions for an 11yro girl that is on the happy, positive side.
What reading level is she? My daughter loves the Emily windsnap series
She reads young adult and graphic novels, and is quite a fast reader in these books, but most reads have been darker books. We are on a mission to find positive stories.
Tapestry series by Henry Neff, parts of it may be dark, but I felt overall it was a more positive story. The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan and the Trials of Apollo also by Rick Riordan, or anything by Rick, like Percy Jackson,and Magnus Chase.
The 39 Clues series, anything from Kate DiCamillo; Fish in a Tree
Sweet Valley High
The Babysitter’s Club or Sweet Valley High
The Wild Girls by Pat Murphy
The Sammy Keyes series by Wendelin van Draanan
Hoot, Holes, and Flipped (though I can’t remember those authors).
Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli
The entire Tortall universe by Tamora Pierce
The Pendragon series by DJ MacHale
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.
but she wants something happy and positive….
Diary of a Young Girl is positive. It’s only sad because you know what happens to her in the end. But the book stops before that.
Anything by Shel Silverstein.
Hoot by Carl Hiaasen (some of the descriptions make it sound like it’s going to be a sad book as it starts with bullying, but after that intro it is quite lighthearted and picks up the pace as the adventure runs on)
The Tiger’s Curse by Colleen Houck is amazing!
Anne of Green Gables
Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33016249-good-night-stories-for-rebel-girls?from_search=true
Princess diaries series by meg Cabot !
Little house on the prairie
The Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Are You There God? Its Me Margaret, and the Lucky Book Stable Series. I loved reading all these books when I was 11 – 13. I hope that she enjoys them.
