I'm very proud of my little 9yo DD, who the school has just assessed as having a reading age of 16 yo (yes, I'm aware this a bit of a boast but there is a serious question and it is relevant).
I'm finding it hard to find her appropriate books to read. Firstly the content has to be at least vaguely age appropriate and secondly she is still building her stamina up and finds full length adult novels a bit of a chore.
So, I'm looking for authors who write short stories and novellas which she can use to stretch her vocab and build her reading muscles without getting bogged down. She's been enjoying some Sherlock Holmes short stories, but there must be something a bit more contemporary for her to tackle. Any ideas please?
