Rather than hijacking the existing classics thread, I'm going to start a new one. My DD is a very strong, avid reader. She flies through books (although she does re-read them, thank goodness). I wanted to get some recommendations of books that would challenge and engage her (she is chomping at the bit to dive into YA, but she is only 10, and so I want to find other things to engage her).
I'm starting a new 'classics' thread for your more obscure recommendations please!
She could read pretty much anything, but although she has enjoyed the classics, what she really loves the pace of all things Rick Riordan. She is reasonably varied in her tastes (although she has no interest in animal stories) and is currently reading a pile of old Chalet School books, but I would like to find her something that will both engage and challenge her a little. Any thoughts of classics that we might not have thought of? Thanks!
