>>24086992I have the first draft of a YA paranormal mystery novel doneBut other projects have been distracting me
I liked the Dark Tower but it's probably too male-orientedI remember Spook's Apprentice being a fun readYou could try to get her to read the Odyssey if she liked Percy Jackson. In a prose translation since children think poetry is gay. Iliad is too repetitive, Metamorphoses too violent, but the Odyssey can actually be engaging for a teen
>>24086992Sabriel
>>24087034Thanks! I just bought the first 5 tomes of the Spook's Apprentice!You think Dark Tower is ok for a 11yo?
>24086992you shall ask her yourself what gift she wants.
>>24086992Lolita
>>24087088she wants books and harry potter paraphernalia
>>24087058pretty cool!
>>24087084I was 11 myself when I first read it. But on second thought I think I recall it having a few sex scenes, at least in book 4.
>>24087150I wouldn't buy any young adult fiction at 11 anymore. She is old enough to read real literature, of which there is plenty at a lower reading level. Tolkien, Lewis Carrel, Anne of Green Gables, Hemingway, Brave New World, Dune, etc etc
>>24087185Meant to reply to >>24086992

>>24087207thanks but I forgot to mention she also already read that
>>24086992>>24087258OP you're doing a good job, your daughter sounds like quite the reader. You're raising her right.
>>24086992Look into Walter Moers work, or maybe Discworld if she's ahead of her cohort
>>24087262funny thing is that's all thanks to this kind of thread on /lit/>>24087278ok will do

>>24086992here ya go anon
>>24086992
>>24086992Give her picrel. It's about a bunch of kids having a secret war with the goblins in the woods.>>24087578Top-teir suggestion. I bought these for my little sister recently and she loves them (probably because the protagonist is also an 11 year old girl).
>>24086992As a kid I really liked A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's 13 books long but the box set on Amazon is only around $60 USD.There's also Narnia and Tolkein as more classic children lit. Maybe take her to see a local Shakespeare production as well.
>>24086992Chronicles of Narnia.
>>24086992There’s probably graphic novels about gay sex at her school so just buy her whatever seems most wholesome.
>>24087783>>24087765These.
>>24087150Please, for the love of God, please just die. And post your nose before you do.
>>24086992My favourite books when I was 11 was the His Dark Materials trilogy.
>>24087765Spiderwick is fantastic, remember reading them as a kid and loving them. The Field Guide book they released had some great artwork too. >>24087578Solid. Only read the first one, but it was good fun.
>>24087311classy>>24087777nice quads & nice recommandation she loves theater>>24088319no there aren'tshe gets all her se and violence from 80's and 90's anime
>>24088607I'd second this poster's >>24087777 recommendations. Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events were big favorites of mine around that age. If she likes one, she'll probably like the other. Also, taking her to the theatre is a great idea.
>>24086992If you have to make her read slop, make her read good slop at least.> His dark materials
>>24086992Warrior Cats, Wings of Fire, Skulduggery Pleasant
>>24086992Has she had her menarche yet? Have her breasts started developing? This is important
>>24088731small breasts but no menarche yet
His Dark Materials , composed with good energy , those books
>>24087135you should educate her about h*rry p*tt*r and how r*wl*ng disrespects the rights of trans folx
>>24086992>Harry Potter Artemis Fowl and Percy JacksonA Series of Unfortunate Events. Box set deal's good value. Lots of material. Hazelwood Series, Melissa Albert. Does the metafiction thing in that vein. Go backwards (with Tales From The Hinterland), then chronologically. Might hit better in a year or two, but the fairy tales might peak her interest.His Dark Materials trilogy. Golden Compass and all that. Redwall series. Lots of material. Cute animals innawoods LOTR-ish.The Last Unicorn, Beagle. Dunsaney Lite. >>24087185Really depends on maturity level. >>24088607>she loves theaterPelléas and Mélisande, Maeterlinck. Romances and such probably are safe bets.>>24088607>80's and 90's animeOne of them's got to have a manga. Get the omnibus.
madame bovary
>>24088607>she gets all her se and violence from 80's and 90's animeAbsolutely try a world masterpiece theatre anime if she's watching in Japanese with English subtitles.Standout one is the adaptation of Nobody's Boy from the 70s, Ie Naki Ko. It's going to be getting a new bluray release this year as well and could be a fun companion piece.
>>24088978>fun>depression pornno waythis anime made me want to kill myself lol
>>24089015>didn't understand>didn't become a man>didn't realize that life being unfair is a fact and not a justification
>>24086992Gibs fantasy book but not the smut one (obviously), you wouldn't want her to read some dark fantasy either. So I'd say something between cozy fantasy or low fantasy, keep her away from booktok or anything labelled as YA. Girls are more vulnerable than boys at this age with media that they consoomed so extra supervision is preferable
>didn't have her start with the greeks>haven't started teaching her greek and latinIt's over she's ngmi
>>24089027I became a man with space adventure cobra you limp wristed faggot
>>24089054she's already done with the greeksshe's now studying late 20th century pop culture

>>24089219I can handle the tragedies that plague life just fine but I certainly don't need any more of those in my animeyes Grave of the Fireflies is a masterpieceno I wont wath it again
>>24089054Why would you start with the Greeks and not the Egyptians?
>>24089468Maybe this website really is becoming 1984... Wait until Elon buys it...
>>24089443Why the Egyptians and not the Sumerians?
>>24089477That's good too
>>24089468Show flag
She's reading too fast and is probably a bit of a whore and will be reading romantasy filth with her roastie friends by the time she's 13. You need to put the books under lock and key and remind her she's supposed to be preparing herself to be of value to a man for marriage. If she can read Harry Potter she can be making you and her father homecooked meals, she's clearly a smart grown up. Smart little bitch.
>>24089476Ah! That's why. Now I know he bought this site and you anons have been having a keen interest at me huh. Well anyways good to know every single one of you let's just hope for a better future to this site. I preferred this even more. Sure hope you guys are seeing me right now since I'm famous remember? Elon is a hero then.
>>24089500>you and her fatherBased gay anon
>>24089468I just hope she won't have to deal with moronic piece of shit like you too much to be honest
>>24088898Best recs in thread
>>24089517I don't know, asking 4chan to help educate an 11 year old daughter sounds like something only a spiteful Asian mother would do. Anyways you can always trust the image to know what kind of thread you're posting in
>>24089468Posts like these always make me wonder about the poster's appearance. Certainly attractive and not limp-wristed at all. And definitely not oriental.
>>24089533keep your retardation out of the thread please

>>24089542>I'm angry at things!
>>24089549Justine and Juliette are much better imho
>>24089542calm down
>>24086992I read a shit ton of 90s and early 2000s YA books. they were skewed towards women authors even back then so I read about a lot of female main characters. here are the best starting with pic related. it's a really awesome magic system if nothing else.>So you want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane>"The Old Kingdom/Abhorsen trilogy" by Garth Nixand finally I'd recommend Tamora Pierce who has written like 10+ series about women knights and mages in her fantasy world. they're quite good, at least they were when I was 13 years old, very well developed fantasy world with lots of believable scenarios. The first series with Alanna called "Song of The Lioness" is great and important to understand the setting. And after that the Wild Magic series is my favorite and came out right after Alanna and features a girl Nature magician who ends up solving politics by talking to animals. The "Paige" series is good, it's about a girl pretending to be a man and becoming a knight, eventually she reveals who she is and becomes the second female knight after Alanna (from the first series). There is also the "Terrier" series which is about a lady cop in this fantasy world. all these books feature very good romance plots as well. Also the new "Circle of Magic" series doesn't seem as Kino as the ones I mentioned
>>24086992>books for a kids birthdayWay to be a shitty parent
>>24087034>>24087084Noooooo it’s a great series but the last book is a cuck bad end
Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbot could be read around that age. It's pretty amusing for a child who is using the computer and doing math homework.
>>24086992Watership down
>>24086999hogwarts school for bitchcraft and bitchery.> secondary sourcesdisgusting. do you want his child to contract pseudery? Just give them prolegomena. thats what its for anyways.
>>24086992WHY HAS NOBODY SUGGESTED THE EARTHSEA TRILOGY BUY ALL THREE FOR HER THERE IS LITERALLY A FEMALE PROTAGONIST
>>24089425I second Little House on the Prairie. I really liked those books as a kid.Also recommend The Borrowers.Jules Verne might be good too with all of his fantastic adventure stories. Like another anon said, she's getting to be the age where she's probably ready to be introduced to more adult fiction. I remember reading Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Lord of the Flies, a lot of Edgar Allen Poe, and Beowulf in middle school while still reading the youth-oriented books as well.If you don't have one all ready, also consider buying a big dictionary so she can look up words she doesn't know. My parents had a massive one and I would look through it whenever I encountered a word I didn't know while I was reading.
>>24086992Redwall, Tamora Pierce, Ranger's Apprentice are all excellent.
>>24090168/lit/ doesn't know shit about ponies anon
Dinotopia is a good choice, and consider Emily Rodda's books as well.
>>24086992listen to harry potter recently cause its cozy.I know they are kids, but it still annoys me that they can never tell off Draco in a satisfying way that bites his ego even though it would be super easy with all of his failings. They just beat him in a quidditch competition and see him huff in the background instead of stepping up to him directly.Be super easy too, just go: >"Hey Malfoy, remember when you didnt listen to the teacher about hippogryphs, failed to mount it, then lied about it to everyone? SO what is it, are you stupid, a failure, a liar, or all the above?or>"Why do you keep loosing at quidage Malfoy?" or>"Why is Hermione so much better at magic then you Malfoy?"or>"DO Malfoys really need to cheat to win, like when you tried to sabotage (and fail) our game? that kind of sad."you know, actually calling his bluffs. Bringing up blatant examples of shit.THere is just so many ways to attack his ego by pointing out when hes a demonstrable looser, but they just go "Its not worth it" when he starts yapping, so he keeps doing it again and again and causing problems cause he doesn't get any real pushback. It would totally be worth it to keep his trap shut more often. its not psychological 4d chess, just making it obvious that yapping just gets him embarrassed.This isnt just a harry potter problem, I feel like a lot of writers dont know how to depict a satisfying snap back.
>>24086992a book token and free reign in the biggest bookshop you can find, she's old enough to enjoy the fun of picking out whatever looks interesting to her. go browse the history section for an hour while you let her read covers/opening chapters at leisure.
>>24086992Tip: Teach her how to properly clean herself in the shower.I've noticed a lot of teens don't know how to do that, so it seems they need to be educated.
>>24092950I'm not made of money anonI try to find the best there is but I get almost everything second hand
>>24086992Monstrumologist series
>>24086992Wings of fire (Dragonet prophecy arc + darkstalker, just darkstalker if you only get one)Animorphs. Maybe not animorphs
>>24093004Do you have a half price books near you? My sister took me there once. They got lots of second hand stuff that's been way marked down.
buy her an e-reader and introduce her to libgen
>>24093811we go to thrift stores and flea markets sometimes but good books are a bit hard to find and I don't want her overwhelmed by subpar slop>>24093907libgen is down in my country
>>24087777>There's also Narnia and Tolkein as more classic children lit. >Maybe take her to see a local Shakespeare production as well.Do this. Just don't take her to the ones where everyone is played by blacks and trannies.If you're Christian obviously give her Narnia and explain it to her after she reads it.
>>24089477My niggurath.
>>24089500>She's reading too fast and is probably a bit of a whore and will be reading romantasy filth with her roastie friends by the time she's 13.This is the unfortunate truth.
>>24086992here are some books I recall enjoying at that age:AbaratPollyannaHarriet the SpyBridge to TerabithiaThe Cat Who Came In off the RoofGracelingLe Petit Nicolas seriesGreek Mythsbooks by Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy, and Thomas Brezina (not sure if those are available in English)maybe Jules Vernebut all in all, at that age, I'd devour anything my parents bought me in the kid's budget section of the bookstore, and I was happy with it
>>24095073>If you're Christian obviously give her Narnia and explain it to her after she reads it.qrd?
>>24095080*gasp*wat do?
the daodejing
>>24095122Chronicles of Narnia has a lot of Christian themes. The last book especially borrows a lot of imagery from Revelations.
>>24086992Earthsea Chronicles and Ivana Brlić Mažuranić's fairytales!
>>24086992Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmerkino of the highest order
>>24086992If she likes sob stories "a bridge to terabithia" is a good choice. The friend and possibly love interest of the protagonist dies in an accident and the rest of the book is of him coming to terms with it it does end in a positive note but it can be depressing. There is a movie of it too if you want to screen it, but I don't know how much it differs from the book.
>>24086992Redwall
Chicks love Austen, I'm told.
>>24087010No, no. Do not give a girl Hegel. Unless, you want her to turn into an insufferable Twitter feminist retard.
>>24097784The last two recommendations are clearly jokes.
>>24097788Knowing this board it makes me wonder sometimes
>>24089542Breasts. Now.
>>24097843If I were serious I would have recommended the Greeks.
