A few years ago she enjoyed Wonder and some murder things that I can’t remember the name of. She’s now not finished a book in a year. Any ideas for gripping, easy to read but age appropriate books please?

Hunger Games and Divergent are pretty easy reads.

Beth Garrod’s books are excellent. And Becoming Betty by Eleanor Wood.

I can't think of any off the top of my head but would a book of short stories be better.

That’s a really good idea actually.

Thanks everyone, I’ve had a good look through and am going to get one of those and also look into short stories.
