I had an issue with that once I hit around 4th grade, so I started reading Michael Crichton novels. Most of them were fairly appropriate. Disclosure maybe not so much. Rising sun too. Got em second hand from a garage sale down the road from where I lived at the time. Probably should've had more filtering from my parents on that one.Yep, my daughter and son both read far above their grade level. It’s actually been tough for my daughter since it’s getting harder to find books at her reading level that are still appropriate for her age.

I remember reading Poe in the 4th grade. My teacher didn't approve. She was cool with Jungle Book, but suggested I wait a few years for Tell Tale Heart.
If she's into sci-fi, Asimov is fantastic and most is child-friendly (assuming sufficient reading level).Yep, my daughter and son both read far above their grade level.

Agree on Asimov being good scifi for young teens. Also, the Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings trilogy are good for them.If she's into sci-fi, Asimov is fantastic and most is child-friendly (assuming sufficient reading level).
"Pebble in the Sky" (fiction) is a great place to start, though not chronologically first in any sense, or 'Atom' for non-fiction.
It's unbelievable how so many of Asimov's fiction books (which are some of the best ever written; taken as a whole, nothing else comes close) take place in the same reality/universe, spanning hundereds of thousands of years. Incredible really, almost all of them are linked (even the ones that seem unrelated).
Damn. That stings a little
Not my grandma or even my mother. The only beetles weren't exactly something to listen to, rolling stones was a chore, go-go boots and mini skirts weren't a thing. Durn kids... get off my lawn!
