Lion boy trilogy (Zizou Corder)
Diana Wynne Jones (the Chrestomanci series is a good one to start one)
How to Train your Dragon series

Old favourites like Ballet Shoes (and anything else by Noel Streatfield)

Apologies in advance as I'm not sure on reading ages but:

The Lion the witch and the wardrobe (always a Christmas book for me)
Eva Ibbotsen - especially Journey to the river sea and Star of Kazan
Second the suggestion of Chalet School

Heidi by Joanna Spry - I think

Skellig

Bedknobs and Broomsticks

sadly dd is obsessed with Jacqueline Wilson

Clarice Bean books are really good though - there's just not enough of them

books like Pollyanna and the Secret Garden dd struggled with, but i might give the What Katy Did books a whirl, i absolutely loved them

mankyscotslass · 24/10/2011 21:43

And yes, the How toTRain your Fragon Books - DD loves them
The Worst Witch books
A seriues of Unfortunate events series (depending on the child)
The first few Percy Jackson books
The Redwall Books
THe first Anne of Green Gables Book
