[quote=Anonymous]I'll start by saying that reading for pleasure is a gift, and you should trust your instinct to encourage your DD to do it. So much YA fiction is not only bleak and depressing, but also poorly-written . . . which may be turning her off as she matures. I'd suggest pointing her toward classic YA novels and adult fiction that's more interesting. Some quick thoughts: • Jacob Have I Loved • The Secret History • The Book Thief • The Color Purple • Anne of Green Gables • Mexican Gothic • Never Let Me Go • I Capture the Castle • Empire of the Sun • To Kill a Mockingbird • The Giver[/quote]
