For a book challenge, I need to read a book recommended by someone from another generation. So if you are under 30, what's the best book you're read recently? Or if you can ask the under 30 in your life the same question.
Don't worry about if you think it'll suit me, I'll worry about that bit.

My pre-teen recommends Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley or Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer.

8 yo is currently very into graphic novels. (His narrative comprehension is very far ahead of his reading ability). I asked what he thought a grownup might like and he suggested Smile by Raina Telgemeier.
