[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to see my daughter read books this summer. She is intelligent and high achieving and I want her to be able to relax this summer, but also spend time looking at books instead of her phone. She’s already exercising/playing sports a great deal so I would like her to do something calming. She says reading is boring and nobody her age reads books.   Are your teens reading books?  If so, and recommendations for books?  Anything I recommend is quickly rejected. Not necessarily looking for anything super intellectual or academic. Just fun and engaging. Something that might foster a love in reading that existed in elementary school and seems to have gotten lost.  [/quote]

My 15 year old DD reads a lot.  She likes fantasy.  If you think she'd like that genre, maybe start with Sarah Maas.  My DD seems to have read a lot of her stuff.  If she likes that, there seem to be lots of other writers like her.  It is not intellectual or academic, but is a better way to pass the time than social media.  We encourage it by taking time to take her to the library, giving her books along her own interests for birthdays and holidays (and not trying to push on her what we think she should read), and being interested in hearing her thoughts on books she's read.  Graphic novels can be a good bridge back into books too.  there are a lot of classices that have been rewritten in recent years in graphic novel form.  Lots of historical fiction written in that format too.[/quote]
