[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I'm the PP and read Perilous Gard over and over and over some more. Such a good story! Same for anything by Diana Wynne Jones. [b]I had free reign of my parents bookshelves, but I don't think reading Fear of Flying and Serenissima at 11 added much to my life (eye opening though it was).[/b] But OP's DD is already reading that type of 'stolen by fairies' theme, so Perilous Gard with its smart, brave heroine is likely a good bet. More generally, I also got into Jane Austen at that age, and would recommend it - could start with the movies, then there is a world of regency romances out there. A few even have magic crossover, like Sorcery & Cecelia. Also could be a good age to introduce Agatha Christie books/movies"

hahahaha I read [i]Justine[/i]

I found it curious, but boring after around 70 pages.  [/quote]

Oh man I would be upset if my kid read that or Story of O, or anything similar.[/quote]

read that, too.  had no impact whatsoever. [/quote]
