Good reads for 12yr old DD

[softballdad#16]

Just was wondering what are some good books out there for my DD to be reading. She absolutely loves to read. 200+ page books are nothing to her in a few days, so I was thinking I could start throwing in some good sport motivation books, etc into her daily reading. Any suggestions??? Oh yeah and Dear Old Dad could use a few too. Thanks Guys and Gals!!

Dave Dravecky's book Comeback was an enjoyable read for me when I was a kid. I really liked him as a pitcher back in the day, too. Very inspirational.

Love to hear about Kid's who love to read - My DD is like yours and absolutly devours books - She some times get a hard time about it from her friends and team mates who don't read.

She liked; Throw Like a Girl - Jenny Finch She also read The Dave Drevecky book above. I'd be intrested to see what other books are out there - I'd like to get her a few for Christmas.

Thanks guys. Keep em coming. Christmas is near!!! Her friends that don't read do give her a hard time and her 9yr old brother joins in on occassion. Don't know about your kid Cobb_of_Fury but my DD likes the real books. She is not into the iPad phenomenom.
