I have it, but have trouble getting "into" it.
My 13 year old grand daughter has read some sci-fi and quite got
into "Sythe". Novel by Neal Shusterman-a Her mother is fine with that.
How good do you think-a "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" will
be for her?
(Meanwhile, I gave her a copy of Heinlein's "Star Beast",
but she did not care for it.

I have never read "Sythe". Maybe on the "The Long Way to a Small, Angry >Planet". Not many young girls like Space Opera and not liking the
awesome Space Opera "The Star Beast" is a bad sign.
If not, then "Among Others" might work.12 and 14? 11 and 15? 10 and 16? 9 and 17? 8 and 17? 7 and 18?

Or "Ariel".

If you want to stick with Heinlein, I would try oCitizen Of The Galaxyo, >"The Rolling Stones", or "Double Star". I so want to recommend oThe
Moon Is A Harsh Mistresso but that is probably too deep.
A number of my Six Star List books have girl protagonists. Thirteen is
a precarious age, right between adolescence and young womanhood.

That's how I knew I was reading it again for the very first time. As
happened with other Heinlein's.

Just trying to get a feel for what range of years would put 13, as
opposed to, say, 16, in that position.
IIRC, 13 is popularly considered to be the /start/ of adolescence. But perhaps times have changed since 1960.
