My niece has read a couple of Stephen King’s story stories at school and she would like some more Stephen King books for her birthday. Which ones would be suitable?

11.22.63? Seem to recall it's a great story about time travel to JFK assassination.

Definately not Delores Claiborne iirc the dd is sexually abused by her dad isn't she?

Not suitable for 12.

I can't think of any I would give to a 12 year old. I started reading them when I was about 14. The long walk and the body from the bachman books short story collection are good for teens but the others in that collection are definitely not!

Christine
The Stand
Needful Things
The Girl who loved Tom Gordon
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption
Dolores Claiborne

Can't remember in detail but these might be ok.

Not Gerald's a Game.

I don't think salems lot or misery is that bad though.

I think Carrie has a few sexual references that make it a bit unauitable for a 12 yr old.

Carrie is a good one for younger people.
