checkers65477.livejournal.comThis question comes from sounisian Dkid. A friend of hers is looking for some ideas of fiction books:
she is looking for recommendations for an 11 year-old girl, a precocious and avid reader, who is being home schooled by religiously conservative parents. She has been sent books like Joy Hakim’s History of US and history of science so as to give her a wider view of the world than she is getting as well as some older YA works of historical fiction such as the “Little Maid” books, which she has enjoyed very much. Can the Sounis community think of any contemporary YA novels that may also provide a wider world view, yet not offend the sensibilities of her parents?
What do you think, people? Maybe not some of our fantasy favorites, like The Perilous Gard or Howl's Moving Castle, but how about some ideas for realistic fiction that would be a good choice for this girl?
