I soon realized I don't have much in my collection that would appeal to a 10-year-old girl or, more importantly, would be age-appropriate. So, I grabbed a few "all-ages" titles at FCBD, grabbed a LIZZY MAGUIRE Cine-manga, and ordered the first AMELIA RULES! trade. Of course, she's also started creating her *own* comics, which tend to be stories about giant, soldier-eating spiders and haunted houses, so I may have no clue what 10-year-old girls like.
