Good books for 10 yr old girl

Hi, you could try 'The Cat Who Said Dance!', it's on Amazon. It has animals, magic, fantasy and normal, relatable events in it as well. The main character is a 10 year old girl so it could suit your daughter.

What about books by Karen Mccombie?

My DD has just moved from reading her way through Michael Morphergo to the Inkheart series, which she is loving. She can't put the books down.

My DD, same age loves Malorie Blackman - Operation Gadgetman, Hackers, Cloudbusting, also loved Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes, Party Shoes; any of the David Walliams' books for a quick, fun read; Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce; Eva Ibbotson - Journey to the river sea or one Dog and His Boy.
Oh and Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles as recommended above.

Octagon Magic by Andre Norton.
Susan Cooper - not just The Dark is Rising, but her other stuff too.
Willard Price's "Adventure" series are a little dated now, but all the info about wild animals in them is correct, and the stories include the info so it sticks in the reader's head iyswim. I still answer quiz questions using stuff I read in them years ago They do tend to get classed as "boy's books" which pissed me off as a child and still does but there's no reason why a girl can't enjoy them every bit as much. I loved them when I was 10 or so. The first one is Amazon Adventure, then South Sea Adventure, and I think there are 13 in all.
Nancy Farmer's "Sea of Trolls" trilogy is fab too - it's rooted in Norse mythology with all the Gods and giants and things.
Connie Companion quartet is good too, that has lots of mythological creatures in it. It's by Julia Golding who writes "Cat Royal" (also good) and the first one is called "Secret of the Sirens".

Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

I'm reading the second in the 13 Treasures series at the moment! Wonderful books. But my ten year old bookworm rejected the first one for having "too much description". . She loves the Ingo books, which have a fair bit of description, but are beautifully written by a poet, that's the difference I guess.

Another vote here for Eva Ibbotson. Also the Ingo series by Helen Dunmore (a sort of contemporary mermaid legend, really well written) and, if she's in to fairies (though a tad darker than the usual cute, sparkly kind), The Thirteen Treasures by Michelle Harrison.

O, I loved Miss Happiness and Miss Flower by Rumer Godden; haven't read The Diddakoi, off to Amazon excitedly (apologies to all independent book retailers, live in sticks, godsend)

The Diddakoi by Rumer Godden,never met a little girl yet who didn't love it.

dd has just read thus summer:~(and loved):
The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
Swallows and Amazons,
Heidi,
my family and other animals

Wilma Tenderfoot books are good.

The Weird Stone of Brisingamen.

11 yo DD and I have been reading the 'Ruby In The Smoke' series by Philip Pullman. Amazing plots, set in Victorian London, with a strong young female lead :-) We're currently 1/2 way through the 4th and I'm already feeling sad that it's nealry over.

She's also enjoying The Book Thief right now, by Markus Zusak. It's set in WW2 Germany, so perhaps check if she's covered WW2 at school already? Very unusual style and some German language, but a wonderful tale.

Last year she devoured The Magic Thief trilogy by Sarah Prineas. Fab fantasy about a young boy. She also loved all the Artemis Fowl books and the Alex Rider 'Stormbreaker' series... so pretty varied tastes!

Beswitched by Kate Saunders. Modern school story

Madame Pamplemousse and her Incredible Edibles by Rupert Kingfisher: quirky, I loved it myself

Another thread has reminded me of Eva Ibbotsen - Journey to the River Sea in particular.

joanofarchitrave, I can see why not the Hunger Games, but what's wrong with the Northern Lights for a 10 y/o?

Oh, just forgot - the Casson family series by Hilary McKay. Real life stories, definitely to be recommended (she has some as audiobooks & I'm quite happy to have them on in the car )

DD is 10.5, things she's enjoyed over the past year or so:

Roman Mysteries series
Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge + sequel (these are fantastic & I'd recommend them to anyone!)
Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver
A Dog Called Homeless (can't remember the author, but its a lovely story)
Maurice and his Amazing Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett (and some of the other TP kids books)

Her particular 'thing' is dragons - some of these might hit the fantasy spot for your dd. Along those lines:

The Eragon series (sub-tolkien dross IMO but she loves them)
the Dragonsinger trilogy by Anne McCaffrey (these but not the other Pern books are aimed at younger readers, though there is some very oblique sex in the last one)
the Temeraire series (aimed at adults but I've skimmed & they're pretty harmless though again some obliquely referenced sex)

Look at Liz Kessler's books, they are beautifully written, exciting plots but not boo "old for their age".

Gwyneth Rees is a big hit with this age group; girly adventures but not predictable and poorly written like Rainbow magic, definitely for next age group up.

Since she likes animals, Gill Lewis is perfect for her, with White Dolphin and Sky Hawk. She used to be a vet, and is a wonderful writer. My DD doesn't normally like animal books, but she loved the themes and beauty of these, her favourite new books this year.

We have to be careful with JW. DD (just 10) finds the themes too mature, and thinks they're depressing, so we're avoiding them for now.

Oh, and Judy Blume, duh, another thread going about that.

Tom Sawyer is just written so archaically, complete fail when DS was 10.
Anne of Green Gables was good. Nancy Drew. Black Stallion series (other pony tales).

Black beauty or is that a bit young.
Anne of GreenGables
Little Women
The Hobbit

More than a Few by Joan Aiken (well, everything by Joan Aiken, but she might not have come across this one).

Little House in the Big Woods and sequels.
The Swish of the Curtain and sequels (actually, the Swish of the curtain is the only good one, but I read the others anyway at her age).
Has she read 101 Dalmations and The Twilight Barking?
Miss Happiness and Miss Flower and plenty of other Rumer Godden.
The Cricket in Times Square.
Betsy by Dorothy Canfield.
Anne of Green Gables and sequels.
I assume she's got all of Noel Streatfeild?
She might enjoy Tom Sawyer?

TBH I would not give The Hunger Games or the Northern Lights books to this age group.
