Well... got meself a Kindle Paperwhite 2 months back, was suppose to be my bedtime/travel reading companion
but somehow it end up in my daughters' hand
she's only 10 btw...

she just finished the whole Harry Potter series in less than 2 weeks during the last school holiday.
first I thought she's just skimming thru the books, that's how she can finish the whole series so fast,
but in fact she's a fast reader, and she remembers all the plots & name in the novels blink.gif

anyway, I gotten her Percy Jackson series, and she complaint to me it's short, less than a day she already completed a book doh.gif
and this weekend she'll be finishing the last book in the series, and I was thinking letting her read Spiderwick Chronicles next
that should last her another two or three weekends, hopefully...

but after that, I'm really clueless what books to get for her, any recommendation??? confused.gif

PS: she already finished most of the classic children literature, including all the Roald Dahl books...

Try Lockwood and Co. There's 5 books and it's complete I believe. The 5th book came out recently. It's about ghost hunting, very fun! My favourite series as of 2015. biggrin.gif
