neighbours dd has injured her back doing ballet and has been unable to walk for 9 days now.She can sit apparently .Would like to get her something to cheer her up,cure the boredom as she's usually so active.

what books are 11yr olds into?
can't think of anything else I could get her ,don't think she's that into reading tbh.

my dd 11 thinks it is too young for her. but it's hard to say. it's pretty dreadful in my own opinion!

was just thinking also if she is into ballet
Noel Streatfield's classic 'Ballet Shoes'is a lovely book( a bit old fashioned)

ooh yes ,wonder if she has it already.Is that the one that was a tv series in the 70's?
