today one of my favorite 7th graders asked for "books where kids have adventures over the summer" and "books where girls are told things they can't do but then they DO them" and some days you just have the best job you know.

Just about anything by Tamora Pierce! I'm reading Protector of the Small for the first time after reading her Immortals and Alanna series when I was younger!

Midnight Ghost Club is one that comes to mind.
The Body by Stephen King. Or even It if they’re feeling ambitious.
