Calling all voracious readers!

So, you've got a 12-year-old girl you're trying to talk out of reading Twilight, with its sketchy gender politics and iffy writing.

What do you recommend, oh Friends List?

Have to agree on the don't talk her out of it thought. That will just make her more eager to read it. Read the book watched the movie MST3Ked it the whole way, I don't get it myself but it's basically bodice rippers for girls who may or may not have anything in their bodices yet. And it may be a little adult for the tween-teen set it's aimed at. Good ammo for a good long talk once she's done reading it.

If nothing else show her this, it will put things in perspective.
