Does anyone know any good fiction books for Catholic teen girls?

depending on her age -- the "all about girls" was pretty good - that would be 12-13 age range. http://www.teresatomeo.com/store.htm it even has some things for mother/daughter relationships to strengthen and make things easier to start talking about!

if she is older and looking more for the novels - look at St Jude media they have three great books - might be too old for her though.

EDIT -- "the bible" is a pathetically lame answer as it is NOT fiction. i have emailed a friend who has a teen daughter as well and see if there is more that she can recommend.

**** from a friend of mine - she runs the local cappucian soup kitchen and she is VERY particular!

Stella casually picked up (from my nightstand) the ABC's of Choosing Good Husband and started flipping through it-it is an excellent book.

Another one by MaryBeth Bonnacci is Real Love ( she is slowly getting curious about that one) for fun she loves biographies and stories from girls/women during the 30's . She finished To Kill A Mockingbird (enjoyed it). To really get her into reading more, someone suggested the

Twilight Series. Well, I read it, and she is very mature to handle it. She knows it's all fantasy-but there is a lot of sexual innuendo-that's why there are Twilight moms!!:)It hasn't changed Stellie's mind about sex/marriage, actually it is promoted in the book (abstinence before).

But, those books are for a parent to decide if their kids should read them. I'm sure some folks would be mortified that I allowed her to read them-myself, I loved 'em. Check out this website-scroll down for a list of books-realize these are from a public system. I think if there is communication way before puberty and beyond, reading shouldn't affect

their values if they are well grounded.

there are a set of books that I poured through by an author and they were great, easy for a young girl to read, nothing bad whatsoever-historical romances by Beverly Lewis. She also loved all the chronicles of Narnia.

A couple of other ones were the Wedding Planning Planner's Daughter -a few in the series-

**** same with the potter series.... they ARE really good if the kid(s) is/are grounded already.

First of all, this is NOT a prologue. These are character descriptions. This would not be good to use as the opening to a book for several reasons. First off, you are telling an not showing. You shouldn't just TELL the reader that a character is nice, sweet, funny, etc. you should allow the reader to discover it for themselves by reading about their nice, sweet, funny actions throughout the story. Also, the way you simply reveal each characters entire life story means that the reader will have less interest in the story as there simply isn't anything to discover. A prologue should introduce the story and the characters, and you have not introduced anything about the story. That being said, the premise for your story is also a fairly bad idea. The way you are writing will most likely result in Mary Sues. A Mary Sue is basically a "perfect" character that the author likes a lot but the reader finds boring and annoying because of their perfection. One type of Mary Sue is called the "Author insert Sue", which is when an author bases their character on themselves or a friend, also known as what you are doing. Think about this. do your friends know that these characters are based on them? Will you ever tell them? Might they find out? The answer to at least one of these is probably yes. And because of this, you will not want to give them any flaws. For example, if you make your character Reese insecure about her looks, then your friend Kate (or Anne) will assume that you think that SHE is insecure about her looks or that she should be (ir, you think she's ugly). So you won't want to do that to your character to protect your friend. Because of that, you won't give the character any flaws. People do not enjoy reading about perfect, unflawed characters because they are BORING. I advise taking a step back from this story and spend some time working on short stories and such to build up your style and writing ability before diving into a big projec tlike an entire book. If you want to write about your life, that's a good way to get practice, by ACTUALLY keeping a journal and writing about things that happened to you in creative ways, like writing a conversation you had from the other person's point of view, or writing a "what if?" short story about your life (ie "What if I found out my best friend was a spy?" or "What if I found a million dollars, what would I do with it?") Practice more, and then try a whole book. Also, reading published books to understand how things like prologues should flow with the rest of the story will help.

What about the Bible? It's a fiction book that Catholics should be reading. It has clear views on femininity and girls interests. I think you'd find it enlightening. I know I did.

The Bible.

I'm a teenager and I really like anything by Jodi Picoult.

The Bible.

The Bible oh no they erased all the parts about women.

The Bible.

I believe this question has gotten more of the same answer than any other question I've ever seen asked on here. I saw this coming before I even clicked on the question...

The Bible. Greatest fiction ever written.

Harry Potter...
