[quote=Anonymous]My daughter, age 14, is a reluctant reader, except for manga and some graphic novels. The books she has to read for English are so depressing! "Walk Two Moons" --a girl takes a long road trip with her grandparents during which she tells a story, and finally makes it to her destination, which is--spoiler alert!--the place where her mom died in a car crash! Now she's reading John Steinbeck's "The Pearl." Poverty, violence, and death of a baby in the end. All kids are different, and some kids might like reading about overcoming suffering and dealing with our worst fears, but is there a MoCo regulation against joy, humor, or just fun books that are on her age level, that she could use for a book report? Suggestions welcome. [/quote]
