[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of good books here but not many that are over an 11-year-old's reading level. Dickens was a good suggestion--I would start with A Tale of Two Cities. Or what about The Scarlet Pimpernel (not by Dickens, obv)?[/quote] At some point reading level stops being that important. Just reading good books for the fun of it is what matters. I am sure all of us have read books below our "level" that we enjoyed, right?[/quote] Not OP, but a parent of a similar child. My DD has read everything she can get her hands on, repeatedly, so the usually book lists for 11-year-olds don't have much new for her. She also reads quickly, so books "below her level" go by so quickly. That's not all bad, but I think they can become unsatisfying after a while. That's why we like finding more challenging books that also suit her age.[/quote]
