DD1 has just finished reading the Mallory Towers set and absolutely loved them. So suggestions please on what to get her next? She likes girly books rather than scary or thriller type ones (but not too twee please!) Am off to look at the Book People but will check back. TIA.

Polgara, how old is your DD?

Gosh that was quick! Will check all these - would prefer a set rather than a single book first - gives her something to get her teeth into. But am making note of them all - thank you.

Little House on the Prairie?

My DD loved these.

Chalet School? Swallows and Amazons (possibly less girly, but still fun).

Oh that brings back such happy memories! Are the St Clare's ones still in print??

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. My dd read one after the other for a full year (there are 13) and inspired her reading no end. Not girly - but great.
