I ask as I have just returned from holiday and found the sugested summer reading from my daughter's new high school on the doorstep along wiht a zillion other letters!!!!
Duly went to Smiths yesterday and , apart form charlie bone, which she doesn't fancy , they had none of hte books on the list - don't stock them at all. the only one they did stock was so horrific that I refused to buy it although dd begged. In fact I had a whole 20 mn coversatoin with the assitant about how this book came to be on an 11 yr old's reading list - it was about nightmares/blood/death and contianed a warning not to read at night!!!!
So what is your 11 yr old reading?
