Not really sure where to post this but I am looking for a good science read for my 13 year old daughter. She considers reading about science fun :) I am looking for something not exactly like a textbook but yet still a science book that is very informational. She definitely has a science mind and is pretty advanced on the subject for her age.

Thank you for any suggestions!
Marcy

Have you looked into biographies of scientists?

My kids enjoyed The Mystery of the Periodic Table. Very informational. The last section was quite difficult for the younger kids, but it was a good book.

This is an interesting blog post about a new science series aimed at 9-12 year olds. They are each titled, "Nick & Tesla's . . . " You'd have to determine if they are too young for her or not.

My ds16 is currently reading Science Matters - Robert Hazen and says it is an absolutely brilliant book. He gets so excited about it, reads it for fun!! He too is science minded. Just asked him if it would be too old for her and he didn't think so considering the information you shared.
