I am interested in getting some books to the young lady I sponsor in Nepal through Save the Children. She is a reader and I am hoping to find appropriate reading material for her. I understand that some Harry Potter books were translated- I read those to my children (and for myself) so I was hoping to get something like this. Please let me know if this is available or other recommendations for a 14 year old. Also I would be interested in providing the library with assorted books if you can let me know what is available. Thank you for your assistance.
