Autobiographies suitable for a 10/11 yr old

DD loves reading 'first person' stories and loves history - she devoured the 'my story' books. Liked Anne frank, loved 'I am malala' what can I recommend for her next?

[DaffodilsAndCrocus]

Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr.

Has she read Roals Dahl- Boy? I read Peter Kay's autobiography on a plane once, remember it was pretty funny.

Sorry. I didn't read your post properly. Just read autobiography.

Is she a bit young for Angela's ashes?

Anything here?:

[DaffodilsAndCrocus]

About that age I read Emma and I by Sheila Hocken about a young girl dealing with going blind.

[GlobalTechIndustries]

If she likes historical bios I'd recommend Leonardo da vinci, or bit more advanced the Borgias.

[BigGreenOlives]

Clare Balding's My Animals and other Family and Gerald Durrell's My Family and other Animals (fictionalised but funny).

[WankersHacksandThieves]

Maybe a couple here too:

Second Emma and I, a lovely book. The James Herriot books are also good for this age.

DD (11) loves the My Story books.

She also enjoyed Eliza Rose by Lucy Worsley (fictional diary of a young girl in Queen Elizabeth 1 court). She also has a similar style of book coming out next month called 'I am Victoria'.

How about ' Nelson Mandela: No easy walk to freedom' a biography by Barry Denenberg for children.

'Chinese Cinderella' by Adeline Yen Mah - children's version of Falling Leaves.
