Gift is for: my daughter

Book tastes

My daughter is 11 years old and she likes horror and scary books now. She has read and liked Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Small Spaces series by Katherine Arden, Doll Bones by Holly Black. She would appreciate something along these lines. She also enjoyed Wonder by R.J. Palacio recently.

Don't get this!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dogman because we already have the whole series.
