DD is a very good reader, and reads a lot. However, we're running out of decent reading material and I'd appreciate a few suggestions!
She's read a lot of "classic" children's books like the Secret Garden, A Little Princess, the Little House on the Prairie series, the Narnia books, Pippi Longstocking, Heidi, virtually everything by Noel Streatfield, Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton etc. She has also read the Hobbit and is working her way through Lord of the Rings at the moment. She has tried "Anne of Green Gables" which I loved as a child, but couldn't really get into it for some reason.
Among more modern books, she has read the Harry Potter series, the Lemony Snicket series, Mr Gum, Spy Dog and lots of Michael Morpurgo books, as well as various stuff by David Walliams, Jeremy Strong and others which I have probably forgotten!
She has enjoyed most of these, especially Mr Gum, Harry Potter and Heidi, but we are running out of inspiration! Any suggestions? A series of books would be great as it would keep her going for longer, but individual book suggestions would also be welcome!
TIA
