Hi! I’m looking for books for an almost-10 year old who is having some big feelings and mood swings due to hormone changes. I’ve got Are you There God, It’s Me Margaret” but I’m looking for a main character who deals with strong emotions and maybe feels a little out of control.
* Prefer a girl main character
* Crushes are fine, but we’re not ready for romantic physical activity
* No really distressing events, like death or drugs – the feelings can be about daily life
* Shorter books are better – this reader is good with sophisticated stories and reading comprehension, but struggles a little with decoding / the technical part of reading.
I just want my child to see that she’s not alone and these kinds of big feelings are normal.
Thank you!!!!
