Books for girls!

As a father to two young daughters, one of the trickiest things is trying to find girls books that they will like.

Part of the problem is not knowing much about what authors would appeal to them and I think the folks over at Fanatics may have solved a part of this dilemma with their latest mailer.

The Little Princess
The Little Princess is an enduring classic and must-read for all young girls. Hilary McKay brings this much-loved story back to life in her own classic and inimitable style. Wishing for Tomorrow, told in Hilary Mackay’s unique light and witty style is a warm and touching as well as hilarious.

Wishing for Tomorrow
In Wishing for Tomorrow Hilary McKay revisits Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Ladies after the events of A Little Princess and Sara Crewe’s happily ever after. But Sara is much missed - and most acutely by best friend Ermengarde, who laments that ‘nothing is the same as it was before’.

But life must go on at Miss Minchin’s as new friendships are made, rivalries continued, lessons learned and, most importantly, fairytale endings are had.
