My daughter is a voracious reader! Can you please give me your top 10 must-reads for an 11 year old girl for her personal reading time? We need to build our library! 🙂
Rainbow Garden and everything by Patricia St. John, especially Star of Light, The Tanglewoods’ Secret, Treasures of the Snow and The Secret at Pheasant Cottage
Little Women (unless you think she’s not up to that yet)
if you want to try a Jane Austen, Persuasion is my favourite, and it’s shorter and easier than some of the others
Black Beauty
Mary Jones and her Bible
Madeleine Takes Command
Caddie Woodlawn
And I totally agree with the above suggestions of the Little House books, Anne of Green Gables, the Grandma’s Attic series, Heidi, and Understood Betsy. All great books!
American Girl historical fiction: Kit, Samantha, and Felicity series. These character movies are good, too. (We don’t care for the other characters, especially the modern girls)
If you want a series, Trixie Belden — I loved those books as a youngster. Now my nearly 10yo is into them. And my 13yo dyslexic daughter picked one up the other day.
