Ideas for 6 year old girl, advanced reader, for Christmas?

I'm looking for book ideas for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas if anyone can suggest any? She is an advanced reader, but not interested in the books I'm buying my 9 year old (they are at about the same level in reading and I have bought her tom gates and David Williams). She has been reading horrid henry, but she is much more of a girly girl than my eldest. I'm looking for something that she will be able to read to herself and enjoy- something funny, age appropriate and maybe about a young girl or something relatable. Any suggestions?

The Worst Witch series?

How about Pippi Longstocking? Or Milly Molly Mandy?

Actually, anything by Noel Streatfeild!

You could try Chris Riddell's "Ottoline" series, I think you can get them in a nice gift set.

Or Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild? There's a series there, too.

What about the series of Secret Seven by Enid Blyton?

You could try Escape from Nettle Farm. It's release date is 28th November but it is available now on the author's website where you can get signed copies. It's about a young girl and a puppy and is for 8-9 year olds.

Thank you I will try these, going to get a few different ones and get more if she likes them.

My answer to a lot of things on here seems to be either Dick King Smith or Swallows and Amazons. Both of them might work for your little girl.

My DD especially enjoyed the Sophie books and her current favourite is the Queen's Nose.
