DD (11/yr6) is an absolute voracious reader, which as a fellow reader I am very pleased about! The only problem is that she gets through books so quickly! She’s started working through my bookshelves because she’s totally bored of everything she owns and everything at the local library (I wish DH had listened to me and let me call her Matilda when she was born 😂). Anyway, she’s currently working through Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes so I don’t think she just wants to read children or YA fiction but I’m sure there are plenty of well-written, age-suitable books that are out there- I’m not necessarily wanting to push her, I just want to encourage her love of reading and her imagination! Anyone have any suggestions?

I’d get her started on the classics. Dickens, Jane Austin, Trollope and the like. That should keep her going for a while.
