Books for my 13-year-old daughter?

Question

Let me tell you a little about her.

Her favorite books are:

The Twilight Saga

Harry Potter

The books by Sarah Dessen

Gossip Girl

Currently she has been looking for a good mystery book or something filled with action. She does not enjoy scary books either! She also like romantic comedies. Please help!

Answer 1

The Clique Series by Lisi Harrison!  These books are similar to Gossip Girl, but more age appropriate for her.  I also liked any books by Margaret Pearson Haddix (not sure if that is how you spell her name).  They are mystery books for kids.  Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Your daughter would probably enjoy any book by meg Cabot because they're all romantic comedies.

May i suggest one of her books called Avalon High.

Answer 3

These are all good books:

The Gemma Doyle Triology by Libba Bray

1. A great and terrible Beauty

2. Rebel Angels

3. The Sweet Far thing

The Red Necklace – Sally Gardiner

I, Coriander – Sally Gardiner

Troy – Adele Geras

Once – Moris Gleitzman

Tales of the Otori series – Lian Hearn

The Hiring Fair – Elizabeth O’Hara

Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry – Mildred D. Taylor and prequel The Land

The Book Thief – Markus Zusak

Noughts and Crosses – Malorie Blackman

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time – Mark Haddon

The Declaration – Gemma Malley

The Secret Life of Bees – Sue Monk Kidd

A song for Summer – Eva Ibbotson

The Star of Kazan – Eva Ibbotson

Journey to the River Sea – Eva Ibbotson

The Mediator - Meg Cabot

Artemis Fowl – Eoin Colfer

His Dark Materials – Philip Pullman

The Luxe – Anna Godbersen

Anthony Horowitz

Answer 4

Blood and Chocolate (by Annette Curtis Klause) is a good book.  It's about werewolves, which constantly reminds me of the pack in the Twilight saga.

She should also try The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

As for the romantic comedies, she should read anything from Meg Cabot (the Queen of Babble series) or Sophie Kinsella (the Shopaholic series, quite funny)

P.S. What a coincidence, that the main character in the Twilight series' (Bella) mom is also named Renee!  

I hope I helped!

Answer 5

Melissa Marr's books.

I too suggest Avalon High by Meg Cabot.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher(this one isn't so much of a romantic comedy. its actually quite sad but it teaches a good lesson. i believe every teen should read this book)

Also When It Happens by Susane Colasanti was an enjoyable book.  

Answer 6

hmm, well i think she'll enjoy these books by Patrick Carman:

The Land of Elyon: The Dark Hills Divide

The Land of Elyon: Beyond the Valley of Thorns

The Land of Elyon: The Tenth City

(in order)

It's a great series, that I think she'll REALLY enjoy.

Oh and umm, i think she should read Eragon(the book) cuz i gurantee she should read it instead of the movie

Its by Christopher Paolini and I believe the second series is coming out soon.

Hope I helped!!

Peace (\/)

Answer 7

Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

its romantic and very actiony

basically a fairy tale made new

Answer 8

The Uglies    Great Book! also a series. I am interested and love the books she too has read. I know she will love this one.

Answer 9

Call your local libary and ask to speak with thestaff-they may have a list of age specific books for teens, and as well, may suggest some of the newest books that are available.

Answer 10

hmmmm, by the books you listed I think you should get her Eragon (first of the Inheritance Cycle).

Answer 11

"The Cry of the Icemark" and "Blade of Fire" by Stuart Hill (action & some romance - very good)

"Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine

"The Luxe" and "Rumors" by Anna Godbersen (Romance - sort of Gossip Girl in 1899 - amazing!)

"A Great and Terrible Beauty", "Rebel Angles" and "The Sweet Far Thing" by Libba Bray (adventure, romance - some of my favorite books!!!)

"The Clique" by Lisi Harrison (younger version of Gossip Girl)

"Tiger, Tiger" by Lynn Reid Banks (Good, but sad)

"Ghost Ship" by Dietlof Reiche (adventure, a little scary, but more just fiction)

"To Catch a Pirate" by Jade Parker (adventure, action, romance)

"Uglies", "Pretties", "Specials", "Extras" by Scott Westerfeld (futuristic, science fiction - some romance)

"Cryptid Hunters" by Roland Smith (no romance but very good - not scary)

"Island of the Aunts" by Eva Ibbotson (very good, a little younger)

"The Secret of Platform 13" by Eva Ibbotson (same as above)

"Alexandra" by Scott O'Dell (good 'girl power' book)

"Island of the Aunts" (very good!!)

The "Princess Diaries" series by Meg Cabott (very good and funny!)

The "Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging" series (hilarious!!!)
