Books for a 7 year old girl?

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for some book collections for my nearly 7 year old daughter for her birthday / Christmas! We have a fair few books but she loves Anna Hibiscus, the worst witch, Enid Blyton short stories - especially anything with gnomes/ pixies! Are there any books you’d suggest if she loves them?

DD is 24 now but went through a stage where she absolutely loved the Ottiline series by Chris Riddell - I am not sure what reading age they are aimed at but maybe 8-12 bracket.

A bit old but the faraway tree books? There was fairies and pixies in those and the stories were pretty short.
And the books about the magical chair that could go places, I've forgotten the name but my daughter loved them at around 7.

Harriet Muncaster books are excellent - Isadora Moon is the original one (their are loads), and there are two spin-offs - Mirabelle, and Emerald (mermaid).

The Isadora ones are about a little girl who is half witch/half fairy. Lots of nice story lines with magic sprinkled in.

My daughter is 9 and still rereads them all.

Interested in this thread?

Has she read the rainbow magic books?

Following with interest as my almost 7 year old loves exactly the same series of books right now. We also read the Enchanted Wood trilogy recently which she loved.

Hoping to try the first two Harry Potter books over the next few months as well as work through the Roald Dahl collection (finished all the shorter ones when 5 and have had a break since)

Looking forward to receiving more inspiration

Based on a previous recommendation on here, we have the "Daisy and the trouble with ..." box set which DD really enjoys.

My girl really loved the Hotel Flamingo books, they're really easy to read and decent stories.

She also is loving Theatre Shoes after reading Ballet Shoes together, those ones need me to read them though as they're quite dense and her attention span can't cope!

Finally, the Wizards of Once series is a great fantasy series, again perhaps a little old to read on her own but she's loving it at bedtime.
