VOLLEYB


I'm in fourth grade, but I don't enjoy all of those little girly 4th grade books. I'm looking for books that kids 13 and up would read, such as Twilight. I am in the gifted and talented program. I'd like some great books to read over summer.


Answer
Please don't waste your gifted mind on Twilight. Yes, it's addicting, but it's mind-numbing, horribly written, and cliche.

Classics!
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Call of the Wild + White Fang by Jack London


Y.A.!
Paper Towns by John Green
Stanford Wong Flunks Big Time by Lisa Yee
Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee
Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech
Life of Pi - Yann Martel

EDIT: One of my all time favorite books is the Catcher in the Rye. Holden says the word 'goddamn' about a billion times, and uses profanity, but it's worth it. A brilliant book.

What's the name of the book about the little girl who had gnomes living in her backyard?




Alanna G


This book is probably at least like 20 or 25 years old. I read it in like 3rd or 4th grade. I want to find it so i can give it to my nieces to read. I loved this book.


Answer
Afternoon of the Elves

Sarah-Kate is the strangest girl Hilary has ever known and still she doesnât quite believe the mean things the other girls say about Sarah-Kate. When Sarah-Kate invites Hilary to her house after school one day, Hilary discovers that her suspicions are right. Sarah-Kate may be a little odd but she is also the most fascinating person Hilary has ever met. In her backyard amid the tangle of overgrown weeds and junk is the tiniest, most perfect elf village. Together Sarah-Kate and Hilary work to maintain the little village as Sarah-Kate teaches Hilary all about elves. But as Hilary becomes closer to Sarah-Kate, the elf village and its mysterious citizens become the least of the mysteries surrounding the peculiar Sarah-Kate. A poignant and wistful tale of magic and friendship.
