My boyfriend wants to get his little sister some books but she doesn't really read much. What are some books that you would recommend for a 14 year old girl?

Harry Potter series(JK Rowling), Enid Blyton and Judy Blume are great authors for teen books.

My 13 year daughter likes to read some of the James Bond books that are for younger readers. She has also read the 'traveler pants' books that the movie was based on.
I normally take her the the library and she will go to the young readers session and finds lots of books to read.

A lot of it depends on why that girl doesn't like reading. Maybe she has some type of learning disability? Or maybe her interests are few. Try asking her what she likes instead of choosing for her. If she picks the book, maybe she'll be more likely to read it, rather than being forced to read something. Remember that all kids are different.

It depends what level of reading she's in, it sounds as tho shes not a reader type so i would suggest somthing easy not so thick of a book, cause that'll scare her. Take her to the library and asks what kind of stories she would be interested in. If you also need further help feel free to ask a librarian. i would strongly reccommend a book that she can relate to, perhaps a young adult novel, high school related, fashion stories whatsover/ =) good luck

Try books that have already been made into movies. My first book was Little Women. I loved, loved, loved it! Anyway, your bf could rent the movie and you all watch it together and then mention all the good parts they left out.
So many people don't even realize that most movie scripts are derived from books.

Buy a College English Literature Anthology. Open it to the works of Emily Dickinson.
Find the poem:
"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few."
Place a colorful bookmark protruding from there and leave the volume, face down, on an end table or atop the television. Place another small bookmark, between pages, marking the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story: "Winter Dreams".
Let her be romanced by those author's words set in print for her on a couple of printed pages.
She'll be introduced to the wonder of Literature.
The rest ... is history!

Are You There God Its Me Margret.
I read this book when I was 14. I'm 28 now, and will never forget it. It is a good book, I think she'd like it.

I had the hardest time trying to get my daughter to read when she was 14. Thankfully she reads now that she is older.
I guess it depends on what you think she might be interested in but here goes:
The Gossip GIrls series (trashy, but hey she's reading)
(About the ONLY thing mine would read)
Tuck Everlasting
The Outsiders
The Giver
(The last two our eigth graders read in my school)
good luck
JUST THOUGHT OF A COUPLE MORE:
GIrl, Interrupted
Anything by Sylvia Plath (The Bell Jar)
The VIrgin Suicides

Anne Frank- the diary of a young girl...then watch the movie together. I was 14 when I read this and 15 when I seen the movie. It brought me down of my "high-horse" to realize things in life are SO not about me. Good luck!
