Article: [senit] etext books for a 12 year old

Hi

I am not sure if these are places you have looked or if they will be useful
sites:

International Childrens Digital Library http://www.icdlbooks.org/

http://kids.nypl.org/reading/Childrensebooks.cfm - Other useful information

Looks like a good potential site. http://www.weread.org/kids/download.asp

Some free e-books some of which open in adobe if this is helpful -
http://www.ebookmall.com/free-downloads/

Other potential useful sites listed here -

Amazon (at least the American site) seems to have some cheap e-books too
potentially in the correct format -

Subject: [senit] etext books for a 12 year old

I know this is slightly off group but hopefully someone can help, I am
looking for some books in digital format that I can convert for a 12 year
old CP girl to read via switches in word. Has anyone got any age and gender
specific modern fiction text that they can let me have. I have looked at
all the normal sources but I want modern books for her to read for pleasure
on her tablet laptop.
Many thanks
Russ
