Twigs Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 for the 16 year old I'd recommend Robin McKinley's Damar Books The Hero and the Crown The Blue Sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Any of the Melendy Quartet books by Elizabeth Enright for the 12 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 17yo: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford; Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer 16yo: books by Terry Pratchett -- The Wee Free Men is a great one if she hasn't already read it; the Princess novels by Jim C. Hines; the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne; The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde 12yo: the Flavia de Luce books by Alan Bradley (the first is The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAIMOM Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Oh these look good. Thank you! I will hop over to Barnes and Nobel and see what they have in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. It's about Shackleton's try to cross the Antarctic continent in 1914. It's an incredible true story with a happy ending. These types of stories don't always have happy endings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
