gandpsmommy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hi. What books would you recommend for an 11-year-old girl who likes books in verse and enjoys short chapters? She has read a lot of the classics and I'm running out of ideas. Some books she has read recently and liked are Because of Mr. Terupt, Inside Out and Back Again, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Thanks for any suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowing Brook Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Does your dd like horse books? When I was her age I love the series by Lauraine Snelling Called High hurdles I also loved the Sadie Rose series by Hilda Sthal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Penderwicks. Not written in verse though. Just some lovely novels about some very nice girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandpsmommy Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Has she read Out of the Dust yet?http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plan/out-dust-discussion-guide I know we got it from the public library sometime over the last year, but I can't recall if she actually read it. I'll have to check with her. Thanks for the suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestions! She does like dog books, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 http://www.carolinelawrence.com/ Not in verse, but my dd devoured these when she was younger. They are mentioned in 'LCC.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Mom Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 How about Charles Lamb's Beauty and the Beast? It's on Google Books. (Free.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
