Books for kids?

Posted 10/08/2014
So my odd is 10 and likes kinda violent books.... My fault entirely. She's read Enders games, hunger games, loves harry pitter(not really violent, just giving bg) just read maze runner. To make a long story short, she has anger management issues. Therapist thinks it would be good to read more uplifting types of things. And things that are more realistic, like not so much fantasy(which is what she loves)

So the question is, does anyone have awesome book ideas for her? She loves to read and it really is one of the only things in her life that she enjoys. Thank you!!

My kids read all those books too. I'm going to bookmark and call a friend tomorrow and ask her. She has a DD (dear daughter) your DDs age and she is an avid reader and knowing the parents I'm sure 98% of what she reads is non violent.

Has she tried things like Anne of Green Gables, little house, or little women?

Oh my MDS loved the candy shop wars. It's adventure, but not violent.by Brandon Mull. ETA. He also wrote the Fablehaven series, which again I think is adventure/fantasy but not violent.

Are the redwall books violent? I Remember reading them around that age and really liking them; I don't remember any violence but it was a long time ago.

Hmm try girly books? Stuff like

Sisterhood of the Travelling pants (has a littttle bit of sexual stuff but nothing crazy, and in our family sexual stuff is more okay than violence, but every family is different of course)
Princess Diaries (and Meg Cabot's other YA stuff is good too, without being too 'grown up')
Amazing Days of Abbie Hayes
Ther'es a series called Mates, Dates and _______ by Cathy Hopkins that she might like.

She's read the candy shop wars and loved them. We also have the Anne series(they are still my favorite of all time) she says they're boring..... I've never heard of the red wall series, I'll have to look into that. She may like the princess's diaries, she loves the movie. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Oh and before this came up I ordered her the entire kingdom keepers series with gift cards she got for her birthday. Has anyone read those?

The Chronicles of Nanrnia series by CS Lewis. I'm pretty sure that the first one is The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I read them at her age. I don't remember them being violent. Plus, they are fantasy.
