Need help with "If you liked Chasing Vermeer"

[Klara]

Hi there,

I'm a librarian requesting assistance from any fans of Blue Balliett's books!

I was recently assigned to help a girl find some books she might like. All I know about her is that she's in 6th grade, likes Clique and Blue Balliett*, and enjoys stories about present-day girls as main characters.

The deadline to hand in my recommendations is 2 weeks from now. I've borrowed both books and plan on reading them this week, but I'm not familiar with non-YA (I'm not allowed to recommend YA) romances and mysteries. Any help I can get with this is appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
klara.


* Interesting mix of favorites, no? :)

No! "Speak"? Not for a 6th grader!

I would recommend "Fablehaven" although if she's not into fantasy I don't have much in mind.

Though this rec is too late for your initial request, I recommend:

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

Where I Live by Eileen Spinelli
