Try “Of Human *******. by W. Somerset Maugham
I know, ***.e sounds totally depressing. ****? it’s actually a very ****?d read; interesting, quick moving, and not what you’d think from the ***.e. It’s ***?mi-autobiographical historical fiction — so it sort of fits both categories.
Any library should have it.

good historical ****?k - Killer Angels by Michael Shaara - about the battle of Gettysburg. Would be great for US history class.
Good entertaining ****?k - Piers Anthony’s Spell for Chameleon - first of the Magic of Xanth saga. I loved it when I was that age.
I got my Niece the Princess Diaries - she is the same age ***? your reader. They are by Meg Cabot. First four ****?ks cover the events covered in the first two movies.
