Evening all, my eldest daughter starts secondary school soon!! She has been told to bring a fiction book to read.
Does anyone have any recommendations...?

She is not overally kean on reading so would benefit from something that will be interesting, funny and probably quite true to real life..

Any ideas greatly appreciated
Xx

Thanks everyone we are heading to Waterstones next week with this list. They sound good books. Hunger games she watched the films got her the book to read not interested

My niece recently loved Jarred dreams by camilla chester.

The Philip Pullman series that includes Tiger in the Well. Fab, gripping books (and far more accessible than the Northern light s trilogy) .

Mine read the Hunger Games trilogy. When she got to year seven they all had. I haven't read them, but I assume they are a bit dark for 11 year olds. That said, I try not to censor reading.

DD enjoys the school for stars series, easy reading and fun. She's also just enjoying the Potion Diaries.

DD1 (now 14) suggests The One and Only Ivan, it's one of her favourite books and she read it at 11. She also suggests Jacqueline Wilson books and anything by Michael Morpurgo.

These suggestions from my twelve year old daughter:

I would recommend My Sister Jodie by Jacqueline Wilson. its about two sisters starting a new school. one of them is a eleven year old girl. it isn't exactly funny, but it is definitely interesting.
also the Diamond Girls by Jacqueline Wilson.
I still love Enid Blyton books particulary Malory Towers.
I hope this selection will be of some use to you and your daughter.
