Having just read a 'Sophie' book by Dick King Smith to DD2, I've realised, with appropriate angst and guilt, that we can no longer fob her off with a shared book-reading with DD1. The deprived Neglected Subsequent Child has been getting one baby-ish picture book and then listening in to whatever inappropriately mature story we happen to be reading to DD1. She needs her own bed-time reading with chapter books aimed at 6 year olds rather than 8 year olds. Any ideas?
Looking through DD1's stock of books for that period they almost all involve the Rainbow Sodding Fairies (TM).

Recommendations for fun, interesting chapter books to read to DD2 that make no mention of fairies, rainbow or other wearisome stuff.
