They're more interested in upper middle grade literature, which features older kids dealing with more serious issues or funny books starring older kids. Whichever their preference, you'll find these books for 12 year olds helpful with filling the void. I'm sharing 20+ of my personal favorites (most of which are new releases).

So on this list of great books for 12-year-old girls, you'll find a mix of romance, fantasy, coming-of-age, and graphic novels -- including upper-middle-grade and young adult options. A few of them also feature male protagonists. In addition to the books on this list, I recommend the classics: think Jenny Han, Sarah Dessen, The Hunger Games, Divergent series, and books by Alan Gratz! The options on this list are perfect for supplementing those classics and introducing young readers to newer authors.
