or fluffy bunnies or magic unicorns - yawn. She has a lot of Enid Blyton; she ahs enjoyed the rainbow fairies books (natch! but they are too easy now) plus she has liked the Animal Rescue books by Tina Nolan and the Animal Ark ones. She mainly reads non-fiction but I'd love to find her some interesting fiction authors for the next year or so! She has a reading age of 10 but I don't want too 'adult' or scary subject matter. Thanks :)

Dick King Smith if she likes animals

Agree How to Train your Dragon is good

Helen Creswell's Bagthorpe saga. The first one is Ordinary Jack I loved these so much when I was younger.
