What next after Rainbow Fairies?

My seven-year-old has been devouring the Rainbow Fairy books but now she wants to read longer books. She loves reading about magic and likes mermaids, fairies and animals. She's read the Faraway Tree and Wishing Chair books and although she likes listening to the early Harry Potter books, she is a bit put-off by the size. But that's fine by me, after all she can read them in a year or two. I want to find her something that is longer than Rainbow Fairies but that doesn't look too daunting.

Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!

rofl at seeker

has she done horrid henry, flat stanley et al?

dd1 went straight onto hp tbh, but there are sooooooooo many 'pink' books out there that all you need to do is trot off to any waterstones and try not to hyperventialte whilst she fills baskets with more cod than you've ever seen. she will want to read every single blooming one on the many heaving shelves of glittery sparkliness.

but you are over the worst. take heart.

Gwyneth Rees books are quite good.

And of course that old favourite - the twins at St. Clare's!
