Is she a ‘young’ or more streetwise teen? I love the idea of a classic maybe 1984 if she is gadget inclined, or a modern classic like Maize Runner or Holes if she’s not read them yet.

Depends on which Genre she likes. Cinder, The Lunar Chronicles is a meld if genres, fractured fairytales with Science Fiction and Dystopian . She will
Love the spin of all the fairytales, such as Cinderella, Snow White. And Little Res Riding Hood among others.

When I was that age there was a series my sister and I were both obsessed with. The first one was called sloppy first. It talks about sex so if it’s a conservative family I wouldn’t recommend it but it was really relatable to me at that age.

Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke & Redeeming Love by Francine River. My daughter always wanted books that would challenge her reading level so larger books didn’t intimidate her. Of these two, Redeeming Love is for a 15 year old if at an advanced reading level.

for light quick reads, Being Nikki (Airhead series) by Meg Cabot (of Princess Diaries fame) or.. Heather Wells Mysteries also by Cabot, (Size 12 is not fat, Size 14 is not fat either, Big Boned, Size 12 and ready to rock) cute series of former rock princess whose dad stole all her money, now she has to go find a real job to pay the bills. As a Residence Hall advisor for a local college, she starts to solve mysteries there. (I thought it was Tiffany, but Meg Cabot said, It was supposed to be Jessica Simpson). cute.

@Garry it’s a story about a kid in JHS that gets bullied. Don’t let the cover fool you.. 🙂

Suzanne

Have to agree with Garry here. Although this might be a great book, research has shown that teens tend to read at or over their age levels, not below.

0
Dawn

@Suzanne yes some, but then I find when a story is something that they themselves have experience with, it is just as interesting as more sophisticated stories. It isn’t written for babies. Most of the feedback I’ve been getting is from adults who are reading it. It may be light reading for a sophisticated young person, but it’s not juvenile.

@Waynette what’s a study bible

1
Waynette

@Agnes its a Bible, but it’s broken down to make it more understandable and relevant in today’s world. It has sections for notes, it has inspirational quotes, etc. They are really a great thing for anyone to have, but they make them specifically for kids, specifically for teen boys or teen girls, etc.. for every walk of life. Newly married, new parents, empty nesters.. wherever you are, at whatever stage, there is a study bible to help you understand how the Bible is relevant to your situation. Sorry this comment is so wordy, it’s just hard to explain without it. Lol!! Here is an example ?

NIV, Bible for Teen Girls, Hardcover: Growing in Faith, Hope, and Love https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310749697/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FgqSBb3WRMEWY
