I was wondering if The Wild Girls was a book I've read, but it was titled only Wild Girls and written by Mary Stewart Atwell. Thanks for another great reading list!Amanda Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942636545948440422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-30354788198302381542014-06-23T00:10:46.569-04:002014-06-23T00:10:46.569-04:00Its true.....

My 11-year-old granddaughter has her own definite tastes, mainly fantasy and some more advanced reading. But I should forward these on to a friend who is a middle school teacher. I know she would appreciate this list.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-39489744152150264452014-06-19T16:49:53.483-04:002014-06-19T16:49:53.483-04:00Excellent recommendations.

That's neat that you're friends with Beth Kephart. I've read about her in my alumni magazine (for Penn) and have been meaning to read Dangerous Neighbors for awhile. I also loved the His Dark Materials trilogy. Philip Pullman's stories pull me right in!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352909161587824227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-69405377408908638162014-06-19T10:59:42.001-04:002014-06-19T10:59:42.001-04:00I would note that Sarah Dessen's DREAMLAND inv...I would note that Sarah Dessen's DREAMLAND involves domestic abuse and is appropriate for tweens, but might need some accompanying parental discussion.<br /><br />And as much as I love THE SCORPIO RACES now, I wish it had been out when I was a twelve-year-old girl.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-38278657582108662012014-06-19T04:36:50.188-04:002014-06-19T04:36:50.188-04:00Hello Sarah,
