wanted
to read:
My nearly 12 year old daughter loved Harry Potter but finds other books for her age "boring". She enjoys mysteries and all things spies. Young adult books can be a bit too adult so I'm after specific recommendations for her tender age.

The first few books in this series should be fine for a 12-year-old; the heroine is 12 in the first book (she grows up from book to book, like in Harry Potter). The later ones go a bit darker than even the last couple of Harry Potter ones and might be better saved for a little later.

I don't think this was originally aimed at any particular age group as it predates the growth of YA fiction; it's the kind of coming-of-age book no-one seems to write any more, where the protagonist starts as a child and grows to adulthood over multiple years during the course of the book. It should be fine for age 12.
