Real life not fantasty or mystery books

[CassianAndor]

DD is 9 and likes books that are rooted in the real world - no schoolboy wizards for her, thank you . So Wimpy Kid, Big Nate. Jacqueline Wilson etc. She also likes graphic novels such as Roller Girl and Raina Telgemeir books.

Does anyone have any suggestions, because I am fast running out of ideas!

Alice and Megan series by Judi Curtin
Absolutely Eva series by Judi Curtin
Books by Cathy Cassidy
The Mum Hunt by Gwyneth Rees
The Honeymoon Sisters by Gwyneth Rees
Books by Judy Bloome
Jelly Baby, Just Peachy, Lemonade Sky and some others by Jean Ure
Books by Susie Day
Lolly Luck and Shine Izzy Shinr by Ellie Danes
The Mixed Up Summer of Lily McLean
Best Friends Bakery series
Binny series by Hilary McKay

thanks! She's read some Cathy Cassidy and enjoyed those. Some of these are packaged in a very 'girly' way which would put her off but having had a browse I think she would enjoy Gwynweth Rees.

My DD likes Sarah crossan. Very similar to Jaqueline Wilson

Have a look at Ross Welford. Stories are set in real world but with excitement within them. Time travel or invisibility, all very believable though! I bought a set and have been reading them as I have a sensitive 9 year old. Have thoroughly enjoyed them!

Tom Gates series.
Middle School series.
Carson Family series by Karen McCombie.

Might she like some of the old favourites - Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House in the Big Woods & sequels, Ballet Shoes & all the other various Noel Streatfields, all the various (non magic!) school stories - Chalet School, Jennings, etc etc.

Silver Brumby series?
Swallows and Amazons?
