Do you enjoy reading? Here readers of your age from all over the United States recommend great books for you to read：
•My favorite book is Don’t Die, My Love by Lurlene McDaniel．I love all her books, but this was the first one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favorite．It doesn’t end like other books, and I cried while reading．
•I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective who has many fantastic ideas! I love it because it’s a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share the fun with her!
•I highly recommend Skinny Bones by Barbara Park．It is funny, so please add it on your book list．You don’t want to miss out funny stories!
•I would suggest Growing Trouble by Judy Blume．It is based on real things that happened to Judy Blume．It is about a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state．They become friends, make a club and meet once a week．They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one．I think every girl should read this because it is about our growing up．
•I read a book called Neela: Victory Song and it was so good that I read it twice! It takes place in India in 1936 and this 12yearold girl named Neela tries to save her father! It has lots of history in it! I also learned a lot about different cultures! The author’s name is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni．
