“I would suggest what my 12-year-old is reading, but I’m not sure how much your daughter likes Glenn Beck or Ann Coulter.
“Arguing with Idiots” is hilarious.”
I have all the Ann Coulter books except that one. I enjoy them, but my daughter’s a bit young to start with the deeply political material. We watch Glenn Beck, and the kids disappear. They’re a couple years away from understanding the bigger picture he’s talking about. I appreciate your suggestions, though. Especially “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” I had completely forgotten about that book.
Well, it’s a bit of a read, but Brothers Karamazoff by Dostoyevski. If she’s reading Tolstoy, she’s ready for Dostoyevski.
Anything by Solzhenitsyn.
Anything by Kipling. Especially Jungle Book.
What about Mark Twain? Has she read Tom Sawyer?
I second the once and future king. She will very much love that book!
Any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes books would work and for a bit of fun contrasting today's science fiction have her read his "The Lost World".
