...who has done Ottoline, Mr. Gum, Horrid Henry, "How to train/feed/potty-train your dragon", Roald Dahl, History Spies, Enid Blyton, biographies. Looking for Christmas books. Not Harry Potter or anything to do with beasts, underpants or wimpy kids.

I'm Alice, I Think by Susan Juby. The main character is a very funny, smart, quirky young teenager growing up in a remote Canadian town. I think it's a series of two or three novels nows. Would be great for a matureish 10 year old.

Forgot to say, she likes book series, and I do to because I can then ask Grandparents and Aunts to buy a book in a series.
