Book for a newly diagnosed dylexic teenager

[HexBramble]

Can anyone advise me on a few titles of novels for a 13 year old girl who has recently been picked up for dyslexia? Her confidence is shot to bits and I think her work ethic to start with was poor in school. I want to get her a book that will keep her hooked, but one that's also dyslexia friendly.

Advice please!

Bump please

Creature - that's exactly what I need. Thanks!

How about auditory books? They mean she can access what everyone else is reading.

What about graphic novels? DS1 is severely dyslexic and consumes these in vast quantities. I have learnt all about the Japanese graphic novel market as a consequence. There are wonderful books out there. Anime (the film version of Manga) has lots of girl protagonists - might be a way in.

There is also a book about being dyslexic - can't for the life of me remember the title. Will go look for it.

Barricades, thank you, wouldn't mind getting that.

Dyslexic DS 14 has recently got into Manga books - he loves them, re-reads them and hassles to be bought more of them. He also likes audio books. As for regular books - no chance!
