Are Lisa Gardner books suitable for an eager 11 yo reader?

[123rd]

I'm searching for birthday presents for my stb 11dd. She loves Helen Moss, mystery /detective books. I'm on amazon and Lisa Gardner books are coming up ....they sound a bit full on for the 9-12 section I selected. Any thoughts or suggestions ???

Not sure about Lisa Gardner, but have you looked at Hilary McKay books? My dd loved these at 11/12. I think the first is Saffys World?

Sorry, it's Saffy's Angel, the first book of the Casson family series.

Thanks carrie. Will do. Just ordered another Helen moss one.

They are not detective books, but maybe your daughter will enjoy them.
