Candyfloss

Another tweener from Jacqueline Wilson, I had a difficult time getting hooked into this one. Typical girl coming of age story British style.

How It Happened in Peach Hill by Marthe Jocelyn

Great tween novel for older tweens. This would pair nicely with A Drowned Maiden's Hair. Annie and her mother move around performing psychic readings for desperate people. Annie plays the village idiot in order to gain information for her mother and one day Annie decides she's had enough. An interesting coming of age story. For ages 11-14.

Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

This is a reworked fairytale for tween girls. Pleasant, nothing too deep~but likely to attract girls 11-14.
