Dd's teacher has recommended that dd reads some more complex fiction, exploring more complicated emotions and situations. She is a voracious reader and loves authors such as Peter Bunzl, Pamela Butchart, Andy Griffiths and Helena Duggan. She has read "The secret garden", "Anne of Green Gables", "Wind in the willows", "Black Beauty" and "Oliver Twist" but hasn't been particularly engaged by the classics.
Can anyone suggest some more contemporary titles that meet the brief?
