I don't know of the other books girls might like. I'll make of list of the teen paranormal books that my son and I have read. That's if someone else doesn't get here first and post the ones we've read.

I should be reading! Posts: 4,156 Group: Members Member #73 Joined: December 24, 2005	Does it have to be paranormal? If not, my 13 year old likes the Life Of Riley series by Joanna Nadin or anything by Cathy Cassidy. Jacqueline Wilson does some older teen books as well.

I started reading her when I was 9 and I still read her now. I read through Tamora Pierce's Tortall books in December 2004 through March 2008 -- three quartets: Song of the Lioness, The Immortals, and Protector of the Small. I also read the Trickster Series (which is set in Tortall) as soon as I could get my hands on them. I have not read her Circle books. I think Pierce's Tortall books are excellent for teen girls, but may be a bit beyond the tweens. The books cover a period of time where a young girl is maturing and there are references to sexuality -- though nothing more explicit than kissing. If you felt that the Twilight books were OK, you should have no problem with Pierce's Tortall books.

I've only read one of her books (I'm not into the paranormal stuff)-- In the Forest of the Night-- she was like 13 when she wrote it, so I'm sure it would be age-appropriate.

I will pass on the list and I don't think it has to be gender specific so cheesy please share the list. thanks for all the books (that one day I might read.)
