Any Books To Recomend?
 

My odest daughter is 15 & she either wants to be a writer or a teacher & because of that, she is a voracious reader.
Do you have any recomendations for good wholesome books?
She has the Nancy Drew series. She has read some hardy Boys, she has read all of the Anne of Green Gable series books & they are her favourite.
She loves Victorian era clothes, dresses, & hairstyles.
She has read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
No Harry Potter though.

Any suggestions?

Ride the River, the story of Echo Sackett

From the Publisher
No matter that Echo Sackett was young, and a woman, and had never been far from the valley. She was still a Sackett -- sharp and smart and a better hunter than most of the men she knew. Like her bold ancestors, Echo couldn't ignore a challenge. A sure hand with a horse, a dead shot with a rifle, and fast with her wits, Echo traveled to the mountains of Tennessee, coming up against ruthless killers who's stop at nothing to cheat her out of her inheritance. There she'd prove once and for all the she could ride the river with the best.

In Ride the River, Louis L’Amour spins the tale of a young woman who has to protect her family fortune from a murderous thief and teach him what it means to be a Sackett. Sixteen-year-old Echo Sackett had never been far from her Tennessee home—until she made the long trek to Philadelphia to collect an inheritance. Echo could take care of herself as well as any Sackett man, but James White, a sharp city lawyer, figured that cheating the money from the young girl would be like taking candy from a baby. If he couldn’t hoodwink Echo out of the cash, he’d just steal it from her outright. And if she put up a fight? There were plenty of accidents that could happen to a country girl on her first trip to the big city.

Oh wow! I was just reading through this post, and was going to suggest Brock and Brodie Thoene myself! Agreed, their books were absolutely incredible. I read them as a teenager.

Also, Francine Rivers is an amazing writer. One of my daughter's favorite author's (she is 16) is Francine Rivers, and the series of "Voice in The Wind" is her favorite. It takes place during the time of Jesus. Absolutely a riveting series!

I'm also kinda partial to Anne of Green Gables, being as I grew up on PEI myself! It is one of those timeless books that live on and on. :happydance

One of my top favorite books when I was her age was called Lucy Winchester. I can't remember the author. And I don't know how easy it would even to locate anymore. But it's an excellent book if you can find it for her!!
