madeinuk Member Registered: 03/18/13 Posts: 1453 Loc: NJ	DD recently had a reading binge (did not go the school due to severe illness). By far and away her favourite was A Study In Charlotte. Charlotte Holmes is quite a clever young lady - a flawed but real role model potentially. Trigger Warning: Touches some borderline mature (mentions sex) issues but never in any great or graphic detail apparently - not that I expect our 11 year old to really know what that is LOL _________________________ Become what you are

Raevyn Member Registered: 04/12/16 Posts: 77	Also, The Princess Bride is a good movie and (I'm guessing) a good book. I'm not sure what age group would like it, but the site in the link says ten and up. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/the-princess-bride _________________________ Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.
