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?

The Tomorrow series by John Marsden. Completed series, seven novels and I found them brilliant even though they're marketed as YA fiction. Told from the diary entries of 16-year-old female protagonist Ellie Linton and deals with quite heavy themes (invasion, violence, sex) so maybe it's one you want to put aside for a few years.
