Christmas present query

[rivka]

What would you get a twelve-year-old girl who wants to be a writer?

I think we gave her a blank book last year. (Not because we knew that she was an aspiring author at that point, just because we got lucky. Or maybe that's why she now wants to be an author.)

There are a lot of books about writing aimed at kids and teenagers, but I have no idea of their quality.

There's also this writing journal, which, while not for kids, was recommended on Amazon by a young woman who describes herself as a "13-year-old writer."

Any recommendations?

Get her books, books with great stories she will love, books that she will be inspired by, written by authors she will identify with, even if they aren't authors you would identify with.

Besides being fun in themselves, they will show her that writing is an option and she'll write when she wants to.
