Finding books my tween will read has proven to be a challenge each and every time one of my children reaches the tween years! I’m keeping track of the ones my twelve-year-old daughter likes, so I can share the list with you and spare you the challenge! The books on this list for tween girls are her absolute, hands-down favorites. And you won’t find a book list like this anywhere else – because these books are not all available on Amazon nor are they all affiliate links – but they are all fully awesome!
