I really enjoyed reading Animal Farm at your daughter's age. Didn't get all (or any!) of the political references and still appreciated the story.

Or, in the fantasy line, how about something from Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus books (I think The Amulet of Samarkand is the first in the series). I also liked The Sword of Shannara series (Terry Brooks) but the books are really long.

If she likes ghost stories, what about 'the woman in black'? A short story I know but very good !

Thanks everyone.

Fantasy is generally out. She's a typical teenager, but thankfully enjoys classics and historical fiction too. And the odd thing like Life of Pi.

Divergent by Veronica Roth was today's download; several of her friends are currently reading it, or have recently read it. I believe it's a series and is definitely in the can't put it down category of a book per day reading.

I haven't read all the thread so don't know if this has already been recommended.

Virals by Kathy Reichs - I picked it up not realising it was aimed at teens - and loved it! my bookloving neice read it too (she is 12) and she loved it as well.
