HappyGrace Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Dd14 LOVED Kisses for Katie-I'd love to find something along the same lines, but others are great too. She just read and loved all Corrie Ten Boom's books. I would also love to get some fiction for her if I could find something good! (ie-not lame Amish fiction) I personally like Francine Rivers fiction but most of it is too old for her topic-wise. I'm just looking for fun reading for her-not devotionals, etc. Thanks so much!

K&Rs Mom Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Regina Doman has some good modern-day versions of old fairy tales - I'm waiting to give them to my 11yo, but they'd be perfect for a teen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almondbutterandjelly Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 My dd13 is loving Louisa May Alcott books right now: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys. She also has enjoyed books by Wendy Mass. And the Origami Star Wars books are cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 http://www.amazon.com/God-Knows-Size-Silvia-Tarniceriu/dp/1885270143/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387033938&sr=8-1&keywords=god+knows+my+size http://www.amazon.com/Elena-Strengthened-Through-Harvey-Yoder/dp/1885270291/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1387033938&sr=8-2&keywords=god+knows+my+size These two books would be perfect for a teen. I love these two books. They kind of go together as they are about two different people yet they both knew each other and worked together.

AmandaVT Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Has she read any of Erynn Mangum's books? The main characters are young women in their early 20's. She has a Christmas novella too - The Christmas Watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SproutMamaK Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Anything by Jill Williamson. If she liked the Hunger Games she may especially like the Safe Lands series or the Blood of Kings series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Jenny B. Jones has some fun ones. She might also like Lisa Samson's Hollywood Nobody series, which is about a homeschooled teen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yes, she loves all Alcott's books too, thanks! She isn't really very into contemporary fiction-that's why it's hard to find ideas for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinRTX Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm not certain about the book you mentioned. My 13yo said she loves Virals, Uglies, and Between Shades of Gray. She also really likes the Giver series. I have read both the Giver series and Between Shades of Gray (I actually got to meet this author) and enjoyed both.

almondbutterandjelly Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Anne of Green Gables series. Heidi series. Has she read the Litte House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder? I still love those as an adult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wordsmith Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 *Cough* 50 shades of grey ;) Jokes aside, you might suggest the Eragon series, Sarah Plain and Tall, Nancy Drew books, Harry potter, The dark is rising series, and the Redwall books. All those are good books that are quite cleanly written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Since she liked works by Corrie ten Boom, she might like these: God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew Bruchko by Bruce Olson Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 She isn't really very into contemporary fiction-that's why it's hard to find ideas for her! Almost anything by Elizabeth Goudge. They are hard to find but she was an wonderful author and wrote historical fiction. "Green Dolphin Street" was my favorite by her. My dd loved "The White Witch" (it's not about a witch).
