What are good books for middle school girls and moms for a mother-daughter book club?

Since 7th graders get a big amount of homework and the moms and girls would only have a month to read the book it would need to be around 200 pages. It has to be appropriate for the mom's to let the girls read, but it also has to be appealing to the girls.What are good books for middle school girls and moms for a mother-daughter book club?
I can help you out.



first is Lois Duncan. She writes scary stories and although they are older (published around the 80's) but still good

I read them when I was that age and still read her stories in highschool. They only have around 200 or 300 pages but the books are small in size. The ones I like the most are Stranger With My Face, Down A Dark Hall, and Dont look behind You.



Oh My Gods And Goddess Boot Camp by Tara Lynn Childs. Its Currently a two book series and is about the ancient greek gods. The Main Character is 18 but its not bad for younger audiences. I checked on amazon and Oh My Gods is grades 7 and up. Goddess Boot Camp is grades 9 and up mainly because there is kissing and boyfriend girlfriend related stuff, but i am pretty sure (99.9%) that it has no innapropriate s things even mentioned. (pages 288 and 272)



Also by Tara Lynn Childs is Forgive My Fins. Its rated grades 6-10. Its a cute romance about A mermaid who comes to live on land with her aunt (her mother a human, father a merman) and finds someone to bond with, the only problem being that she needs to get him to realize that he loves her. But then something big goes wrong, well i dont want to spoil the story but this book is amazing..(pages 304)



The Forest Of Hands And Teeth by Carrie Ryan. I Have not read this one but my sister in 7th grade has, so it cant be bad for them to read. I guess it would be called a sci- fi. Amazon Has a good review for it: http://www.amazon.com/Forest-Hands-Teeth鈥?/a> (pages 336)



Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras By Scott Westerfield. Their are 4 books in this series know as the Uglies Series. Its a SciFi about a Girl named Tally. In this world, everyone is Pretty, and no one is normal. Everyone gets the operation when they turn 16. Tallys best friend has the operation 3 months before her, and while they are apart, Tally meets a new friend Shay who turns pretty the same day as her. But the day before their operation, Shay goes missing, and its Tallys job to find her or she will never get the operation, which shes been dreaming about her whole life. Its set far in the future, with hover boards and everything. The books are a little longer than 200-300 but they are very good and if you ever get the chace your book club should read them.



The Secret Under My Skin by Janet McNaughton is another great scifi. Its is about a future where environmental conditions are dire. Everyone struggles to survive throught it all. Blay is the main character of this story. She cant remember where she is from or anything about her parents. She was taken from her parents when she was just a baby. She was taken in by a older girl living on the streets and lived with her until she was around 7 or 10. She struggles on the streets until she arrives at a work camp. My review isnt very good%26lt; i havent read this story in a while and cant remember everything. (pages 351 but its smaller in size.)



Runaway by Wendelin Van Draanen. Its the journal of a young girl Holly, a foster child. Although it doesnt say it, I believe she just wants to fit in a school but she has always been made fun of for as long as she can remember. Its a very hard book for me to review, but its a great book. "Hollys run away before, but this time she actually gets away-and what feels like an escape at first soon becomes a daily struggle for survival. She is smart and resourceful, and manages to make it all the way across the country on her own. But how long can this go on? It getting Harder and Harder to avoid the truth-Holly is now homeless.

Runaway is a riveting portrait of a girl just young and stubborn and nive enough to hold out for finding a better place in the world to be." AmaZon review:http://www.amazon.com/Runaway-Wendelin-V鈥?/a>
