What book for a 10yr old girl?

[ardhill]

OK, I was had all my shopping done for Christmas and was just settling down to do some wrapping then I found it.

This year, I was taking the easy way out and giving my nephew and niece money at Christmas - I know, not very thoughtful, but even their Mother couldn't help me. And she thought money was a good idea

Anyway, I was getting the gifts out to wrap them and discovered a book I had bought for my nephew aaages ago, and I had forgotten about it. I can't give him a book and money and only give his sister money, so what books/authors do 10 year old girls read?

I got an Alex Rider book for her brother. Oh, and don't say whatdoyoucallhim, that kid wizard chappy - they have all that stuff.

Oh, yes an as time is short I need to be able to go into town and buy it, so no obscure stuff please

Thanks

turn your cash into a gift voucher and problem solved

A 10 year old girl is probably the definition of the worst gift combination, the only thing she wants is to be 13.

well last year i bought my sister ( 9 at the time) the ricky gervais Flanimal books and she really enjoyed reading them and they are quite funny to read for the older generation as well.

Good luck

I remember being given a set of Encyclopedias when I was ten and loved them. It all depends what she is into, subject wise?

My grandaughter's current favorite author is Jacqueline Wilson or Jacky Wilson not too sure spelling of first name. For her birthday we went out and she picked several of her books as her present.

My son is 10, and he is just getting into Secret Seven books. (when he puts down his Dangerous Book for Boys, that is!)

The girls versions were Enid Blytons boarding school stuff (St Clairs, Mallory Towers). Not modern, but jolly good entertaining stuff!

My 10 yo Daughter has just finished reading eragon, and is eagerly awaiting the sequel (Eldrest?)

She is also awaiting the final Lemony Snickett book (Book 13 of A Series of unfortunate events)

She will also be getting several other books and sets of books on Christmas...


Does this help at all?

A brilliant book... not sure who likes it the most, me, or my 6 yo son... (actually, I do know - its me! although my daughter thinks its a good book too...)

I refer sir to this thread:
Utterly stunning book- Shipwreck Detective

Does she like Harry Potter? If so then she would love the Phillip Pullman series of books. His dark Materils, consists of 3 books, Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife & The Amber Spyglass.
