metaphores/similies
Would anyone recommend a book or a website that help creating metaphors? I am helping my Dd in her creative writing and tought that it would be good to have a bank of those, but not the obvious, cliche ones.

I think a bank of them is a good idea, but probably similes and metaphors you have come up with yourselves. Anything in a book is more likely to be a cliche. You could practise describing things when you're in the car, going shopping, etc.

There are work units on metaphors and similes in:
First Aid English by Angus Maciver
and
No Nonsense English 10-11 (Bond).
I don't know of any books dedicated solely to the topic.
