DD13 loves books, reads mostly fiction and history

She has a bunch of book tokens to spend(collected over time); they come to around £120

I am reluctant for it to be spent on one of those box sets or such that don't get read again. As most of the tokens were awarded as prizes, I want her to buy something that she will read and keep/reread.

Any recommendations ?

Thank you

It's a very broad question. My first thoughts are that at 13 I wouldn't have dreamt of reading a "children's book" and I chose my books myself. But if she wants your suggestions, could you narrow it down by saying what type of thing she likes?

Librarian here!
Best re readable books for that age group include many you might read again as an adult and see in a different light.

Classics such as Anne of Greengables, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials are always a great place to start.

More niche titles which work well for her age group are the dystopian fantasy series like Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Red Rising, Divergent.

The Book Thief, Codename Verity and Pompeii are great historical titles for that age group.

Heres a list from the Book Trust which usually gets thing right!

As I said on your other thread (why 2 threads?) -
Does she have favourite authors or genres?

Or you could get beautifully bound copies of some of her favorite books?
I have some treasured versions of books I fell in love with at that age.

Little Women
Perhaps Gone with Wind
Harper Lee To Kill a Mockingbird
I know why the caged bird sings
Rebecca

I'd avoid Anne of Green Gables personally (irritating heroine).
