Any exciting fiction ideas for a very-soon-to-be 10 year old girl please? Her reading age is probably nearer 12, but she isn't terribly 'worldly wise'.

She's read quite a few Jacqueline Wilson, Michael Morpurgo, been through most of Enid Blyton numerous times.

Just looking for something new. She likes animal stories, real life type stories and also more advanced fairy/fantasy type stories than diasy meadows etc etc

Please share!
TIA

Is the hunger games a bit old for her?

My 9yr old (also with reading age of 12) loves the Warrior Cats books by Erin Hunter - very nature based fantasy about cat clans, highly detailed and complex plots that I am expected to remember endless details about There's also a series called Seekers about polar bears by the same 'author' (its one of those pseudo-authors but of pretty high quality compared to the usual dross)

She also has enjoyed things like The Animals Of Farthing Wood and sequels and the Redwall Chronicles.

David Walliams books are quite good and Roald Dahl in nature.

Oh and Roald Dahl obviously.
