dunno if she would like this but i read it about that age and couldn't put it down till the end :- The Kon-Tiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl Heyerdahl decided that the best way to support his theories about Polynesian migrations was to build and sail a balsa wood raft across the Pacific. What is wonderful about the book is his account of the perilous journey itself. There is a palpable sence of vunerability on the sea, but also an increasing affinity with the ocean and its sealife. It is simply written but a excellent account of a famous journey.
