Default Best instructional book for 12-year-old aspiring glider pilot?

Looking to give my 12-year-old niece a book about learning to fly
gliders, prior to her starting lessons this summer. Any thoughts on
the most appropriate/accessible book for someone her age? Thanks--


What country are you in? I've seen US-centric and UK-centric material
recommended, but we still don't know where you are... makes a
difference when it comes to training manuals...
