Ronia the Robber's Daughter
by Astrid Lindgren
Born in a robbers' fort on the night lightning splits it in two, Ronia befriends the son of the rival clan and both fathers forbid it.
A story about children and magical creatures, adventurous and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
