I have an avid reader but I don’t want to take her to the public library (much to her chagrin) because at her reading level, I just can’t find books we would find acceptable.
She started reading my adult Jewish novels. While not inappropriate, obviously, I don’t think a 10-13 year old needs to be reading stories about shidduchim and marriage and topics like that. Can anyone recommend Jewish authors or series or specific books that would be good for her? She’s above the level of 23 under 1 roof and doesn’t read BY Times. She recently read Hidden and the Captives and enjoyed them but needed me to cajole her to read them because she’d prefer more contemporary settings. She also loves animal and fantasy.

Dina Neuman's books are great for that age. Fresh and entertaining. Eureka, Meet the Milsteins...

If she likes contemporary Fantasy you can try the new Trepid series that came out recently. The last installment was just released. The Betrayel series is great for that age too, if she can handle the thicker, longer books.

She might also like Meir Uri Gottesman. There's a shidduch in Morning Star but it doesn't overtake the book.
