A Euro-based English reading list for 13 year olds?


Take a look at Madeleine L'Engle. Her "A Wrinkle in Time" is very good. Most of her other books are also good.

"The Scarlet Pimpernel" is another good book in the same milieu as Hugo's books.

I really liked Josephine Tey's "A Daughter of Time."

And this might be also good to finish the summer with. You might be able to find it running in a local stock production.
