Recommend a book?

[resonant]

The kidlet is looking for books to buy a friend. What we know about the friend's reading habits: She's turning eleven, and she's all into the Twilight series.

So. Rec us meaty-yet-fifth-grade-appropriate books that are better than Twilight?

by one of us (TM) and consequently much more feminist!

I seriously rec this book to everyone as the anti-Twilight. The one scene I adore is the fight in town...same scenario as Twilight but our female protagonist views the situation quite differently!

And the Romeo and Juliet discussion in the second book? Loverly!!!!
