Books are a huge part of our lives in our house. Growing up, I loved to read. Going to the library was one of my favorite things. Even to this day, as an adult, I love going to the library. There’s something about being surrounded by books. When she was younger, my daughter would only check out or ask us to buy her non-fiction books because she felt that if she was going to read, she needed to be learning something. Over the course of the summer, she started branching out and has found quite a few fiction books that she really enjoys! Here are her top 10 books for tween girls!

10 Books for Tween Girls

Below are 10 books for tween girls that my 10, almost 11 year old daughter, really enjoys reading. There is definitely something for everyone! Pick up a few for Christmas and birthday gifts. I don’t know about you, but I always like to make sure I give the kids books as part of their gifts!

Among the Hidden (Shadow Children 1) 
Harriet the Spy
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
I Survived series
Warriors series
Roller Girl
Awkward
Kristy’s Great Idea Graphic Novel
Wonder
Who Was series
She definitely has an eclectic taste in books so there is surely something here for everyone. I personally am a fan of series books, so I like when I can find a good series for my kids to read. When you find a series they like, it ensures that they will have more to read and we want them to continue reading for pleasure! It makes having to read school issued books much easier!


So there you have it, 10+ books for tween girls. What books would you add to the list? I’d love to help my daughter (and other girls) find books they would love to read!

    I remember when my daughter was a “tweener”. Awkward age for some. I feel the book you listed, appropriately named “Awkward” would have been a good read for her. I would recommend any of these books for parents who have tweens, boys and girls!

    These are great choices! My daughter is 12, and loved reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and we studied Wonder last year for one of our homeschool lessons.

    These books all sound so good! I wish I had them when I was that age. I have to pass them on to my cousin – she has a tween daughter and I’m sure she could use these to her advantage!

    It’s so nice to be able to recommend books for the kids to read especially at this age. They’ll be able to appreciate stories more!

    I am looking for a book series for my 12 year old girl. She loves books for Christmas so that is what I am going to get for her this year.

    My daughter has read all of these except for Among the Hidden and Who Was.

    She is really into the Unwanteds series now. And she has read the Hunger Games Series, Maze Runner Series, and Divergent series, although some are a bit mature and needed some discussion.

    I have a tween and a teen at home, and they are reading some of these books from your list. They are also reading some junior novels, The older one also loves reading graphic novels!

    We always give our son books as gifs too. He loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid and has read all the books. He also loved the Percy Jackson series. If your daughter is into that kind of books, she might want to check it out.
