I asked a friend to list books liked by other young women of twelve years of age who like Redwall/ Brian Jacques. Her answer was:

"""

Some good fantasy/fiction books are called the Immortal series by Tamora Peirce. I would recommend those to her. The first book is called Wild magic, if you are okay letting her read books with magic in them. I wouldn't recommend the other books by this author. They aren't very appropriate for some one her age.

Another good book is the blue sword. It's set in the late 1800's early 1900's, but it has horse-back fighting and tactics in it. Very interesting.

Also, I'd just go to the library and get books on how castles, and such were built. I highly recommend all of these books.

Writing Byte #4: Into the Words

This world, that is, the real world, is not the only world to exist. Other worlds, separate from our own, exist. Other worlds, realms, kingdoms, and alternate realities… they all exist. They rest inside the heads of the young children on the playground; they rest in our dreams; they rest in the imaginings of authors. Words become portals. Written, spoken, signed, translated, and any other form of words… they’re all portals. As the story unfolds, we step into the words. We allow the language to wrap around us and fill us up, transporting us across time, space, and the limits of reality. As I leaf through the pages of a book, I find my way to realities completely different, and yet so similar, to my own. The author picks up a quill, or a pen, or a keyboard, and does the same. You call my imaginings play-acting. I call it discovery. I call it exploring this world that is far bigger, much stranger, more mystical, and more wonderful than you can...

Writing Byte #12: Sleep Child; You're Safe Now

Her eyelids are heavy; her vision is shaded, Lashes weighing down and out, but not quite closed. The residue of sleep builds up in the corners of her eyes. She wonders why, where did it come from? Sleep has eluded her for days, coming in fits and bursts. Worry of the future, lists of responsibilities stretching out in her mind of days to come, Distractions and thoughts like a cloud of gnats buzzing around her ears, never stopping. Would she ever find rest? Sleep is elusive prey; you can crouch in the shadows for hours and never catch it. It likes to play with the hunter, staying just in the line of sight, and just out of reach, Only to overcome the hunter as exhaustion runs them down. But slowly, oh so slowly, the hunter learns to trust, To let their guard down, just a little, To not crouch ready for the next attack, the next kill. And with trust filling the blood and spreading through the body, the muscles relax. And rest, though elusive in nature, makes its way to the ...
