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?

Nothing makes me want to read a book more than people telling me not to read it...except for possibly people giving me "more appropriate" alternatives. (And yes, I felt that way at age 12, too.) My sister-in-law tried to prevent her daughters from reading Harry Potter. It didn't work. Let the kid read it. It's just entertainment.

And yes, Tamora Pierce books are awesome.
