My dd (nearly 8) has just finished Land of Stories - the wishing spell, by Chris Colfer. The first few chapters were a bit bleak, but then they go into a book which takes them to another dimension where they meet classic fairy tale characters - snow white, red riding hood etc, who have all grown up a bit and all interact with each other. It is a bit scary in places, but had dd gripped, she is sometimes a reluctant reader, but finished this in a week. It is 400+ pages, would say ideal for confident 8/9yr old to read alone, though are a few trickier words. She loved these fairy tales when younger, this book revisits them in a slightly more grown up way.
