She's a very able reader. She's recently read lots of John Green, Malorie Blackman, the Divergence series. Any suggestions for what next?

Has she read any Garth Nix? The Mister Monday set and Sabriel trilogy are fab. Also William Nicholson- the Windsinger trilogy.

great series

for dystopian too have a look at Half Bad by Sally Green. It's new this year, part of a trilogy, film rights have been sold.

I'd recommend;

Ophelia and the Marvellous Boy

Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell

Waffle Hearts by Maria Parr

Scarlett Ibis by Gill Lewis

Looking at the Stars by Jo Cotterill

Have fun!!

Thanks so much - she's read all the dystopian stuff, plus Percy Jackson....she also had an obsessive Percy Jackson phase and now I am thinking about it wasn't there another one due to come out soon?

Not tried the Dragonsinger books but sounds from the review like it might be her sort of thing - will order the first one.

Oh, she also reads endless fanfic on her tablet, mostly Harry Potter.

My dd is in year 8, she loves the whole dystopian teen stuff, Divergent & the like. She seems to have an endless stream of these sorts of book from her school library, does your dd have that as an option? Anyway, thinking of things she's liked recently that she's mentioned to me:
books by Cat Patrick (Revived, Forgotten)
Insignia series
Gone series by Michael Grant
Raven Boys series

Older stuff, she liked the Dragonsinger trilogy by Anne McCaffrey, is obsessive about all the Percy Jackson books, quite liked Throne of Glass.

Non fantasy / dystopian
The Misfits series by James Howe
Gallagher Girls series (funny spy novels)
Beswitched by Kate Saunders (21stC girl time travels to Enid Blyton style school)
