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?

I don't know why no one is reccing the Barsoom Books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I think I was reading them at that age, and you need something to be horrified about in later years. (yes, tongue firmly in cheek)

I was reading them too then. I think I'd be happier recommending the Lensman books by E. E. 'Doc' Smith, though.
