Hi! I (mid twenties f) have a small sister (12) that's really getting into reading. She loves young adult romance, non spicy. She adored six of crows. She had the idea that we could start a book club together. Love the idea now only need suggestions because I don't know. I love old classics (austen, bronte sisters, dickens, stoker, etc), newer classics (hemingway, how to kill a mockingbird, like the writing style of gabriel garcia marquez). I really liked the hunger games, twilight when I was young. Liked the acotar series and love a house of salt and sorrows.
Since she is 12 I have to buy the books for us both. So I would like to know some older books that are cheaper. I can't really afford to buy books that are €25+ each every month. She really wants to read at the same time and I love that idea but financially it's not happening with the new releases she would like to read.
Thanks in advance!

Would a murder mystery be okay? She might like Agatha Christie’s classics, *A Murder is Announced* or *Nemesis*, both of which feature old Miss Marple as the detective.
Fantasy about sisters, with twists: Diana Wynne Jones, *The Time of the Ghost*
If she can take a bit of dark depressingness, she might like John Christopher’s Tripods series. It’s dystopian and eerily relevant today.
Light palate cleanser romantic sports comedy with likable protags: *Summer in the City* by Elizabeth Chandler
I don’t read that much YA, but I really loved V E Schwab’s City of Ghosts trilogy and Akshaya Raman’s The Ivory Key duology. And if it’s a possibility, try looking for second hand bookstores online, or try Vinted (if it’s available for you), you will save a ton of money on books. It’s always my first choice 🙂
