Books Like Percy Jackson For 12 Year-olds Novels & Stories

he answers without skipping a beat. I go up to my room to find some of the stuff I've been bringing home whenever I get the chance to stop by the old house. I find some of my favorites. Percy Jackson. Vampire Kisses. Mortal Instruments. I hope she likes them. I can't imagine living the way she has. If I thought what we were doing was wrong before, I don't now. Fuck that guy. "Where are you going with all those books?" Leelie stops me when I turn around to take these down to Every.

"I don't know. I just thought I'd try a long book for a change." "Hey, I just remembered something," Caroline said. "This is funny. When I was in sixth grade, one time I read a really long book, the longest one in the class. Is this for one of Ms. Reeds' famous book reports? Mine was, too. What was it? That's right, The Yearling. It was a great book. A really great book. If you do another long book, read The Yearling." Caroline read The Yearling in sixth grade? Jane hadn't heard of the book until she was in high school.

she says, excited. “What do you have me reading,” I say, stunned. I mean after the times I’ve had with both Parker and Rafe nothing should shock me. But she’s 14! They actually put this stuff in books?? At 14 I was nowhere close to having extremely intimate thoughts about males! “I told you! It's called, “Love Under The Moon.” I’ve read it like four times, soo soo good,” she swoons. I gape at her, not sure what to think.

"I have my ways." Dante set his fork down. His knuckles went white against the table. "Those books are filling your head with nonsense. Ideas you're too young to..." "I'm fourteen, not a baby." She crossed her arms. "And they're just romance books. Love stories. Happy endings. Nothing inappropriate." "They're not age appropriate. And when I give an order..." This was going to turn into a fight. I could feel it. I tucked my hair behind my ear. "I used to read them too."

Stopped. Walked in. A kid, maybe twenty, stood behind the counter, staring at his phone. "Do you have books for teenagers?" He looked up. "Like, Young Adult?" "I don't know. Sixteen-year-olds." "Yeah. YA section's in the back." I walked to the back. Found shelves labeled Young Adult Fiction. Pulled out a book at random. Read the back. Something about dragons. Shoved it back in. Pulled out another. Read the back.

Gerey turned his attention back to his bag instantly. With trembling hands, he zipped up his bag, exhaled and walked up to the Librarian who offered him a plastic blue tag that had the number ‘0169’ etched in black on it. “Uhm, do you know where I can find books on - fairy tales? For kids between the ages 7 to 12?” Gerey's eyeballs danced around for a yellow pair of eyes on a face with unusually large ears.

It was as though everything she had consumed had been devoured by the child. Seeing her ruddy complexion, put Jason’s mind at ease. He walked over and glanced at the book on her lap. "Still love reading, don't you?" He thought she had outgrown that stage. Zoey felt a little embarrassed. In junior high, she too succumbed to the temptations of trends and fell into the habit of secretly reading bestselling novels. There were tomb-raiding ones, but also fantasy and sweet stories of unrequited love being realized. In fact, she hadn't read much in recent years. She had only picked up a novel to pass the time because she didn’t dare spend too much time on her phone when she got too bored.

It looked older than the other shelves, and the books there had that old dusty smell, like they hadn’t been touched in a long time. My eyes moved quickly across the titles. I wasn’t sure what I was searching for, but I hoped I would feel it when I saw it. I pulled out a book called Legends of the Moonrise Clans. The pages were yellow and made a soft crackling sound as I turned them. I flipped through it, but it only talked about old Alphas and stories about battles from hundreds of years ago. Nothing about powers. Nothing about girls like me.
