I'm not sure this trilogy would appeal to a young lady, but it surely had me enthralled during my early teens:
"The Bounty Trilogy" by Nordhoff and Hall ("Mutiny on the Bounty"; "Men Against the Sea": "Pitcairns Island.").

It takes me only a few minutes for her to browse the covers and a few pages!

thanks,

Let her run through the library shelves a couple times a week.

When I was a kid the public library was only about 1.5 - 2 miles away from home - easily walkable. I would walk nearly every weekend and spend hours and hours there. But for us, it's about 6 - 8 miles away. I'd have to take her. It's not practical for us more than a few times a month, but we do get there.

"bike"

This is northern va, I don't even bike to work - no consistent bike trails.
Things just aren't like they were when I was a kid. It's good and bad.
