There seem to be lots of parents of young musicians here so maybe someone can help!
My daughter (13) recently decided she'd like to learn the piano "properly" and started teaching herself. She's not starting as a complete novice as she plays other instruments and has experience of composing on a keyboard (by ear). She can read music.
Ahead of starting lessons in September, she's looking for some fairly easy pieces to play over the summer. She enjoys playing song accompaniments, but would like some classical pieces to work on too. The problem is that it's hard to know what's realistically within her grasp but that would also appeal to her teenage tastes (romantic modern classical music mainly). She plays the theme from the film Amélie Poulain, so I am guessing that she could tackle a grade 3-ish classical piece fairly easily.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions, as googling "easy piano music" turns up either very simple arrangements for complete beginners, or lists of pieces that look more like grade 5+!
