I came across these two books that are interesting, but also have simple straight forward vocabulary:
Grade 5-6: Labyrinth�s Door (Story of a girl who dreams of being a great warrior) It has a good adventure story and beautiful illustrations.
to view online:
Ages 12 -15: Snow Ball by Kerry Sparks ( The dance is coming up and girls get to invite the boys, there is also a fashion show coming up!)
read it free onine
Extract:
�I
wanted to ask Scott Parker!� I cried like a baby.
�But he�s my paperboy!� protested Lindy.
True. He did have a paper route in Lindy�s
neighborhood. Technically, she did see him first. UGH! Why did there have to be
all these rules when it came to liking boys? Wouldn�t life just be so much
easier if you could just like who you wanted to like?
�Whatever,� I said, giving up.
Lindy had a look of satisfaction on her face like she
had just won a card game and sack full of money. She said absolutely nothing
for five minutes. Finally, I said something.
�Well, at least think of somebody for me,� I said.
�Ok, but I need some time to think,� she pondered,
putting her pencil�s eraser in her mouth.
�Think fast. We have only three weeks,� I said.
