Chapter books - Girl Aged 7

[TeaOneSugar]

DD (year 2) has just started to be able to choose her own books in the school library, and I suspect she's going to continue to bring fairy rainbow books home until she's read them all.

I can't seem to get her interested in Enid Blyton, which I loved at a similar age.

Can anyone suggest some books I can get her at home?

I've had a look around amazon and I'm struggling to find books that would suit her reading level, with suitable content for a 7 year old.

I'm going to ask her teacher for some suggestions, but wondered if anyone could recommend maybe a series.

DD likes Beast Quest which is marketed to boys. A boy and a girl work together to defeat the different monsters.

Jeremy James is fab but definitely one to read to your children because it is funny for the parents too.

This is probably a bit late as I see this thread is quite old, but The Secret Lake is just out and fits the bill for readers just breaking into chapter books without pictures inside.

It's a traditional 'time-slip' adventure with a modern twist - set in the communal gardens around Notting Hill...

Take a look at thesecretlake.com

I'd also highly recommend Jeremy Strong - and Horrid Henry for that matter!

Best wishes,
