5 отличных книг про детей, которым пришлось резко и быстро повзрослеть

Зыбкий возраст между детством и юношеством обычно тянется несколько лет: в чём-то очень взрослый ребёнок продолжает спать с мягкой игрушкой, боится темноты или оглядывается на маму, когда уходит. К сожалению, иногда детям приходится взрослеть слишком быстро. Тому может быть виной трагедия, теракт (жизнь после него описана в книге Дарьи Дацук «Голос») или пьющие родители, как в романе Дины Сабитовой. А иногда подросток очень быстро учится у старшего товарища — так писательница Астрид Линдгрен не раз давала советы своей подруге по переписке, 13-летней Саре Швард. С ней, кстати, у нас выходило целое интервью.

7 нон-фикшн книг для подростков

Вопреки расхожему убеждению, мы не верим, что современные подростки мало читают (да и они сами не согласны с таким мнением о себе). В небольшом списке нашего постоянного автора Анны Дозорцевой только интересные и понятные экземпляры — вполне возможно, что нехудожественные произведения заинтересуют вашего ребёнка даже больше. В нём и комикс о работе мозга, и история первого канадца, который совершил выход в открытый космос, и даже рассказ о том, как будет выглядеть Земля через 100 лет.

12 книг про тело, секс и отношения

Раз уж заговорили о подростках, то нельзя не вспомнить один из самых полезных наших списков. До сих пор нет единой точки зрения, когда и как нужно начинать говорить с детьми о сексе и как рассказать, почему у Маши половые органы выглядят иначе, чем у Миши. В помощь ответственным родителями мы выбрали полезные книги, которые помогут объяснить и самым маленьким, и уже подросшим детям, как устроен наш организм, откуда берутся дети и как на нас влияет порно.

9 книг для разговоров с подростками

Если про подростковую сексуальность вы уже всё знаете, то наверняка остаются темы, к которым вы всё равно боитесь подступаться в разговоре с ребёнком. Книжный обозреватель Мария Бурова советует те романы, где речь идёт о самых противоречивых темах: смерть, наркомания, терроризм, буллинг, гомосексуальность. Можно читать их вместе, а потом обсуждать, либо предложить подростку книгу, если вы видите, что тема его задевает. Так он поймёт, что вы, как родитель, понимаете и видите его чувства.

6 неизвестных, но важных книг о Холокосте

На самом деле, существуют темы, о которых сложно говорить даже самим взрослым. Холокост — определённо одна из них. Наш постоянный автор Мария Цицюрская сделала подборку, куда сознательно не стала включать «Дневник Анны Франк» и «Мальчика в полосатой пижаме». Вместо них в списке есть воспоминания Труди Биргер, которая ещё девочкой попадает вместе с матерью в концлагерь Штуттгоф, история семилетней Кристины Хигер, жившей с семьёй в канализации Львова в течение нескольких месяцев и биография Ирены Сендлер. Именно она вывезла из Варшавского гетто больше 2500 еврейских детей и спасла их.

5 современных книг, которые расскажут подросткам о 90-х

Если вам вдруг кажется, что у вас с ребёнком катастрофически нет общих интересов, а про 90-е он знает только то, что тогда убивали людей (отсылка к песне модной певицы Монеточки «90-е»), мы и в этом можем вам помочь. Книжный обозреватель и автор телеграм-канала «Женщина пишет» Мария Бурова выбрала несколько книг, которые помогут показать детям, как жили в 90-х, а взрослым — вспомнить свою юность. Здесь и художественные произведения, и краткая история современной России от Михаила Зыгаря.

20 книг мировой классики для подростков

Сколько бы мы ни экспериментировали, всё равно остаётся некий обязательный набор книг, которые обычно находят отклик в душе у подросшего ребёнка. В этом обзоре учитель русского языка и литературы Татьяна Кокусева напоминает о классической зарубежной литературе. Не все эти произведения написаны о подростках и для них, но так получилось, что именно этими книгами зачитываешься в 16-17 лет. Здесь и Сэлинджер, и Ирвин Уэлш, и Кен Кизи, и Керуак, и Ремарк и даже Терри Пратчетт.

Лучшие книги для подростков 14-16 лет: список

Список лучших книг для подростков 14-16 лет. Это интересные подростковые книги, которые с удовольствием читают в последние десятилетия: фэнтези, постапокалипсис, приключенческие произведения, детективы, классика и многое другое. В списке душевные истории Эли Фрей и Джейми Макгвайр соседствуют с хоррорами Стивена Кинга и Ричарда Лаймона, авантюрными сюжетами Ли Бардуго и изящными романами Шарлотты Бронте и Джейн Остин. О дружбе и предательстве, отвергнутой любви и страхе, борьбе с обидами и непониманием – найдется книга под любое настроение. Эмоции у подростков зашкаливают, вопросов в голове много. А эти истории отвлекут от личных драм и поделятся бесценным жизненным опытом. Ну что, начнем?

Задуматься о смысле жизни

Тем, кто верит в знаки и судьбу, подойдет роман-притча «Алхимик» бразильского писателя Пауло Коэльо. Это история бедного пастуха Сантьяго, который бросил стабильную жизнь и отправился на поиски истинного предназначения. Спойлер: в финале его ждет необычное открытие.

Для любителей фантастики и приключений

Если вы с интересом размышляете о жизни и смерти, погрузитесь в «Империю ангелов» Бернара Вербера. Здесь фантастика переплетается с реальностью, а вымышленные герои содействуют историческим персонажам. Мишель Пэнсон погибает и попадает в рай – хороших поступков в его жизни было больше, чем дурных. На небесах он проходит инструктаж и становится настоящим ангелом-хранителем. На его попечении три земные души, которые он должен направить к свету. В какой-то момент чтения кажется, что все это возможно. Интригует?

О любви

Для тех, кто уже влюблен или только мечтает испытать нежное чувство, подойдут следующие произведения из нашего списка лучших книг для подростков. «Грозовой перевал» Эмили Бронте – трагическая история с любовным треугольником. Говорят, этот сюжет вдохновил Стефани Майер на создание знаменитой «Сумеречной саги». Читайте и ищите сходства и различия. «Мой лучший враг» Эли Фрей – о дружбе, которая могла перерасти в нечто большее. Но обстоятельства усложнились. Переживут ли герои обиды и разочарование?

Поклонникам загадочных историй

Любите детективы и мистику? Читайте «Код да Винчи» Дэна Брауна, «Маленький друг» Донны Тартт, «Портрет Дориана Грея» Оскара Уайльда. Намеренно не будем ничего говорить о сюжетах. Если еще не читали эти произведения, возьмите на заметку.

Кстати, взрослым тоже стоит обратить внимание на эти книги. Иногда полезно отвлечься от серьезных дел и быта. Открывайте любой роман и перенеситесь в другую реальность: иной мир или другую эпоху. Не исключено, что в сюжетах вы найдете нестандартные решения своих повседневных забот.

А еще обязательно взгляните на список лучших книг для подростков 12-14 лет. Там преимущественно произведения современных авторов, которые понравятся юным сердцам. Приятного чтения, девочки и мальчики!

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 90015.90000 25 classic novels for teenagers 90001 90002 So I thought it was worth taking a breather from contemporary publishing for a week, to think of which classic novels might appeal to a confident 14-year-old reader. This might be seen as an adjunct to the list of 50 books to form the building blocks of a child’s library I offered up a few weeks ago. 90003 90002 The books that follow are inescapably personal. The list is weighted in favour of the books I loved when I was 14 — crime mysteries by Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers, and the Adrian Mole stories and Roald Dahl’s tales with a twist.And 90005 Gone with the Wind 90006, which I remember reading over the course of one long coach journey and so many evenings under the bedcovers into the night. 90003 90002 I thought I would also extend the brief a little, and think not only of the canonical 19th and 20th-century novels that might work well for teenagers, but also of more contemporary authors, such as Ian McEwan or Henning Mankell. 90003 90002 I have limited this list to fiction because novels are capable of changing us — of altering the way we not only think about something, but the way we feel about it too.And this is all the more true when we are teenagers, when our capacity for change and our need to find understanding in the world around us is so great. 90003 90002 90013 19th-century classics 90014 90003 90002 * Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Wordsworth Classics) 90003 90002 * Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (Penguin Classics) 90003 90002 * Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (Wordsworth Classics) 90003 90002 * Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (Penguin Classics) 90003 90002 90013 20th-century classics 90014 90003 90002 * A Room with a View by EM Forster (Penguin Classics) 90003 90002 * Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh (Penguin Classics) 90003 90002 * Thank You, Jeeves by PG Wodehouse (Arrow) 90003 90002 * Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (Virago Modern Classics) 90003 90002 * Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (Pan Books) 90003 90002 * The Outsider by Albert Camus (Penguin Modern Classics) 90003 90002 * 1984 by George Orwell (Penguin) 90003 90002 * Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (Penguin) 90003 90002 * On the Road by Jack Kerouac (Penguin Modern Classics) 90003 90002 * Fahrenhe it 451 by Ray Bradbury (Flamingo Modern Classics) 90003 90002 * Lord of the Flies by William Golding (Faber & Faber) 90003 90002 * One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Penguin Modern Classics) 90003 90002 * Saturday by Ian McEwan (Vintage) 90003 90002 90013 Comedies 90014 90003 90002 * The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Gollancz) 90003 90002 * The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend (Penguin) 90003 90002 90013 Short stories 90014 90003 90002 * The Collected Stories of Katherine Mansfield (Wordsworth Editions) 90003 90002 * Kiss Kiss by Roald Dahl (Penguin) 90003 90002 90013 Crime novels 90014 90003 90002 * Miss Marple Omnibus: Volume One by Agatha Christie (HarperCollins) 90003 90002 * Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L Sayers (New English Library) 90003 90002 * The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John le Carré (Penguin Modern Classics) 90003 90002 * Faceless Killers by H enning Mankell (Vintage) 90003 90002 Please email your questions about children’s books to asklorna @ telegraph.co.uk and follow @lornabradbury on Twitter 90003 90002 Previous Ask Lorna columns: 90003 90002 Books for teens who love The Hunger Games 90003 90002 Funny stories for fans of Horrid Henry 90003 90002 Vampire-less books for teenagers 90003 90002 Books for children who have been bereaved 90003 90002 Building a library: top 50 books for children 90003 90002 Books for a boy who love Harry Potter 90003 90002 Books with vampires for fans of Twilight 90003 90002 Books for children with dyslexia 90003 90002 Books about Charles Dickens for an 11-year -old 90003 90002 Poetry to inspire a nine-year-old girl 90003 90002 Books for an advanced five-year-old girl 90003 90002 Books for 10-12-year-old boys 90003 90002 Books for fussy eaters 90003 .
