This folder is for a book that is dearly loved by a child or some other person younger than you.

Looks like you're on your own for this one as well! Though I suppose you could talk amongst yourselves and figure out who the young folks here are. But it might be fun to go talk to a kid.

Luckily, her reading tastes are somewhat similar to mine so I'll most likely enjoy her suggestion!

Teresa Kander I'll probably get my youngest daughter to suggest something to me.

Valerie | 280 comments I work in an elementary school, and I often talk to the kids about books. One girl and I have similar tastes in YA books. She is a ferocious reader, and loves especially fantasy. She likes, for instance, Brandon Mull's Fabelhaven series, and she plowed through Michael Scott's series Secrets of NIcholas Flamel. (Feel free to use either series if you are looking for one. She highly recommends them.)

The challenge was for her to come up with a book I have not already read. Her suggestion to me was The Unwanteds. Again, feel free to use it. It is a recommendation from a 10 year old.

Valerie | 280 comments I am also happy to ask a random kiddo for a suggestion if anyone needs any other suggestion. They would come from 4th or 5th graders.

Amanda | 229 comments I asked my first niece for this recommendation and she recommended "Dear Daughter" by Elizabeth Little.

I looked that up and marked it as want to read. It is fantasy too.

Valerie | 280 comments Another student sent along her recommendation to this group. She is a 5th grader, and she suggested The Secret Garden. I might use this as a reread. I remember reading it as a girl, and loving it.

Teresa (teremazon) A friend's niece has suggested Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. I am not very sure yet

Margo  (dandylines) Teresa wrote: "A friend's niece has suggested "Are you there, God? It's me Margaret", but I am not very sure yet"

That book could be on the challenged list as well.

Teresa (teremazon) @Margo, I did not know it had been challenged. This has instantly made it more interesting!!

D | 9 comments The Girl on the Train was read by a younger coworker. She said I would like it, I did enjoy it.

Elise | 12 comments Hi, I'm 23 and I loved The Book Thief by Markus Zusak by Markus Zusak I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet and is older than 23!

Alternatively I really loved Tomorrow, When the War Began (Tomorrow, #1) by John Marsden by John Marsden or if you're feeling really committed theres always The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3) by J.R.R. Tolkien by J.R.R. Tolkien
