There is a series of books marketed for ages 9 and up called The Mother-Daughter Book Club. Each book in the series has the mothers and daughters in the story reading one of the classics (like Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, etc.) as part of a book club, and each story also mirrors the book they are reading. So, for instance, what is happening in the lives of the girls is similar to what is happening in the lives of the characters in the books they are reading (but on a preteen level). My DD10 read them last year and loved them, and they have served as a jumping-off point for her to start reading some of the classics.


She thought she could, so she did.
