I was wondering if you have any opinion about the suitability of either Harriet the Spy or Among Others for my 12 year old daughter who likes to read (and isn't the best at socializing).
She doesn't have very sophisiticated taste, and reads as happily Tolkien, Rowling, and (sorry) Christopher Paolini. She even liked the Inkheart trilogy which I found truly unbearable, but I also read lots of crap (admittedly not crap in three different languages) at that age.
