> but not children's books because she is at an adult reading level.

It is great that she is precocious, but she is still a little girl. There are things you won't understand until after puberty and, besides, who doesn't like a good story?

Have her read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle. It should be perfect for her and she will love it.

Also get her a copy of Kon Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl. One of the best adventure books ever written. It's a touch slow in the beginning, but once they get to sea you can't put the book down.

If you want to give her something a little bit on the mature adult side, The Universal Traveler is an extremely unique and interesting book. It is mature and adult in terms of abstract concepts. No sex or violence. Nothing offensive whatsoever. Not sure if it would interest her, but it's a terrific method for channeling creativity and working through processes. And much more. She might get more out of it at 14 or 15, but there is something useful inside for everyone. One of my favorite books.

Howdy! I would love to read A Wrinkle in Time because I haven't had the chance to yet and I loved the movie as a kid!

  • The best book I have read in the past year is probably The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling). It was so interesting and I absolutely loved the characters.
  • I love Scooby Doo so here's that as well
  • I just did my intro recently, so here is is!

    Thanks so much!

You might try some Kurt Vonnegut novels. Many delve into sci-fi topics, while others are absurdly realistic, and are written in straightforward language while exploring some really interesting ideas. My favorite, Galapagos, tells a tale about an apocalypse and human evolution over a million years.

The Giver by Lois Lowry is technically considered YA, but it's so amazing it doesn't matter. I still read it every few years as an adult, and I only just found out it is part of a set of four. Another book that is technically YA but is really smart and has a lot of depth is A Wrinkle in Time and the books that follow it. They are stories about imperfect and relatable characters that touch on topics such as cellular biology, time travel and ethics.

I've included Amazon links for all the suggestions:

From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is a great book. It's about a brother and sister who decide to run away to a museum, then get caught up in a mystery.

Nancy Farmer's books are always fantastic. The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm is great to start with.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first of a trilogy. It's really, really good. I know that technically it's recommended ages 10+, but I think that a big part of it is because the characters tend to use some vocabulary-building words. If you're reading it to him, he'd be fine. Great series!

[A Wrinkle In Time] (http://www.amazon.com/Wrinkle-Time-Quintet/dp/0312367546/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1409281122&sr=1-1&keywords=a+wrinkle+in+time) by Madeleine L'Engle.

As someone who was also an advanced reader, I think she'll very much enjoy this book. It's got heart and adventure and it will make her giggle too. I really adore this author, I basically read everything she ever wrote after I finished that book.

The main character is a girl, which I appreciated. She's a strong and bright girl too, there isn't anyone rescuing her. :)

I was in 6th grade when I read "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeline L'Engle. I immediately then devoured all the books in the series. The movie is so awful... stay away from that. From Amazon

I read this as a sixth grader but I still enjoy it as a 34 year old. It's simple to read in terms of vocabulary, but the concepts are pretty profound.

If your son is at all interested in time travel... these books are so good. They're very classic.

Is that it? I don't remember anything written in the summary, I thought it had more of a renaissance-fantasy feel to it, but if this is it, thank you! I'd love to go back and re-read my favorite stories.
