Reading List for Girls

Came across a few reading recommendations that I want to consider:

Madeline L’Engle – A Wrinkle in Time

Patricia Beatty - Campion Towers

L.M. Montgomery – Anne of Green Gables

Robin McKinley:

Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast (1978)
The Door in the Hedge (1981)
The Blue Sword (1982)
The Hero and the Crown (1985)
The Outlaws of Sherwood (1988)
Deerskin (1993)- this one is probably a little too mature for you daughter.
Rose Daughter (1997)
Spindle's End (2000)

I found this link to a friends blog with a nice list as well:
Virginia Sole Smith  

Beezus and Ramona

We just finished reading Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary.  The girls got the movie, Ramona and Beezus, in their Easter basket and were told that they could see it AFTER the book was read.  With school and other books of interest, we didn't get around to reading it until recently.  The girls LOVED it and were so disappointed when it ended... but of course want to see the movie right away.  We will probably wait to see it on Friday.

This is a story the relationship Beezus has with her exasperating little sister Ramona and how she longs to have the same kind of friendship her mother has with her sister, Aunt Beatrice.
