Johanna, I have not ready any of her work... sorry. Have you, and if so what would you recommend??

Older daughter has now read one of Ray Bradbury's short stories. I remember him very well from my junior high days! At her age we had to read "A Sound of Thunder" and to this day, I remember it very well. She read "All Summer in a Day" and I have the feeling this story will stick with her as much as Thunder has stuck with me.

Here are links to both of these if you wish to read them (if someone can find them in Russian, please post the links for them!):

There are even a short films of both that were made and you can watch them on YouTube:
