My wonderful niece has become extremely unwell during isolation and is going to be staying in hospital (MH).

She used to be an avid reader but has stopped lately.

Can anyone recommend some lovely, positive teenage aimed books I could send for her.

I feel absolutely useless as does everyone but thought this was maybe something small I could do to let her know I am thinking of her.

Thank you so much in advance. My Dd is toddler so not sure that's not my tractor is the thing I need for this.

My 13 year old dd is currently reading-and loving- the shadow hunter books by Cassandra Clare. It's a nice long series so it could keep your niece going for a while. Hope your niece recovers quickly Flowers

You Are Awesome by Matthew Syed?

(Disclaimer - I haven't read it but teenage ds was sent it by a sports body he joined a couple of years back)

Thanks @HMSSophie I'm just looking and can only find her adult ones but will keep trying.

She writes adult books - the ones I mean are about, hmmm, can't recall but I'm sure mermaids were involved.

My DD loved the Helen Dunmore books aimed at teen girls.

Thank you @feliciabirthgiver I will ask sil if she has that.

Just not sure about young teen books as well. Will see if I can google anything.

That's a lovely idea, I know from experience sometimes it can be difficult to focus on reading when MH is poor, have you thought about maybe getting an Audible subscription so she can choose her own books to listen too instead? Wishing her a speedy recovery Thanks,
