Hey yall, I’ve been reading books to my stepdaughter since she was 3 and we love it as a form of quality time but she is developing very different taste to me and I want to find some really quality novels that more reflect her tastes but which I will also enjoy.
Her favourite series is Heartstopper and she is loving The Princess Bride which we are reading now. She also loved the graphic novel Girl from the Sea.
In the past I have read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Golden Compass, the Secret World of Og, and The Neverending Story.
She enjoyed these but they are definitely more my taste than hers.
If anyone has recommendations for kid friendly action or romance stories I would be appreciative.
I kinda want to read her Jurassic Park, because it’s fast paced and really well written but it’s again more my taste than hers so I want to at least offer some options for our next book. Please help. I’m trying to capture her interest in reading and get her more into reading novels.

Maybe try Half Upon a Time or Bridge to Terabithia!
The Initiate Brother. Historical novel set in China just before the Mongols invaded. Fascinating story, a bit slow in spots, well written and surprising twists.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
