[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have any remaining guardrails on what would be appropriate for her to read, perhaps take them off. And then take her to the library and let her pick out whatever. At this age I was reading pretty adult material and that subject matter is what kept me reading, along with the sense that I was getting away with something I would not have been allowed to see if it were in movie form. You may not want your kid reading whatever equivalent to VC Andrews is out there these days but it's certainly a hook. [/quote] OP here - I have no guardrails and in fact the last book she was really into was "It ends with us" by Colleen Hoover in sixth grade. I got her "Flowers in the Attic" and "The Shining" and recently suggested "The Thorn Birds" - all things I enjoyed in 8th grade. The PP with the two kids might have a good point... I guess to be more specific I was looking for book suggestions that your 8th graders liked. [/quote]
