My 11-year-old daughter is on crutches for another 3 to 4 weeks due to a soccer injury. Her and I love to read books together and then watch the movies. We’ve already read/watched the Harry Potters, Percy Jacksons, A Wrinkle in Time, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Chronicles of Narnia, Ella Enchanted, all the Roald Dahls, and I’m sure others that I have forgotten. I’m tempted to do Hunger Games but I am worried she’s too young. Any suggestions? Thanks!

At her age i read the “Inkheart” series and i loved it!
Ender’s Game.
Artemis Fowl
A Wrinkle in Time is part of a series – A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, An Acceptable Time. I really, really loved A Swiftly Tilting Planet around that age.
Holes by Louis Sachar. The movie is surprisingly pretty good too. It’s probably my favorite YA book of all time.
When you reach me was a book i loved around that age
Watership Down
Howl’s Moving Castle!
Wonder
Anne of Green Gables
Little Women
Bridge to Terabithia (a real tearjerker)
Artemis Fowl
The outsiders. Hands down. Also a great movie
Goodnight, Mr. Tom. It’s an award-winning British novel set in World War II. I read it when I was 11 and it’s still among my favorite books. There’s a movie.
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. The book is charming and a bit different from the Studio Ghibli film, so it’s fun to compare the two afterward.
