Book Suggestions for a 12 Year Old Girl

Jennifer and I just finished reading "Watership Down", aka "The Bunny Book". She really liked it, primarily because it was about rabbits, I think. She also liked "Freddy Goes to Florida", "Runaway Ralph", and "James and the Giant Peach".

She liked the book "Holes", and we read a lot of the Narnia books together. She recently started reading "The Hunger Games" on her own, and loves it.

I'm kicking around for a new book we can read together and open to suggestions.

I would reccomend trying 'Zoe's Tale' by John Scalzi. It is a sci-fi book with the main charater and Point-of-View being a teenage girl. It is a retelling of another of his books, 'The Last Colony'.

John Scalzi won the Hugo for it, and was nominated for the Andre Norton Award for Best young Adult Science Fiction.
