Books for advanced 7 year old girl?

[natczer]

I'm buying Christmas presents for my nieces and nephew. I always get a book or two each for them. Three of them are quite easy (ages range 6-12) but the 7 year old girl I'm struggling with as it's quite an 'in between' reading age. She's an advanced reader, and is quite a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent girl but still has bit of silliness. Any ideas?

Rumer Godden's The Doll's House books?
I loved them at this age (I was similar, good reader but loved dolls).
I'm going to be reading them to my 5yo.

Tree House series
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
David baddiels Books

The tree house series is slightly easier Dd 10 is a very strong reader but still enjoys these books because they are funny, they should be fine for a strong 7 year old.

Witch Wars by Sibeal Pounder, or Ottoline by Chris Russell?

My DD loves Zoe’s Rescue Zoo and the Worst Witch

Matilda
Hettie Feather
The Faraway Tree Series
Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls
My Naughty Little Sister
The Hodgeheg
Charlotte’s Web
The Sheeppig
Amelia Fang
Isadora Moon
Pippi Longstocking
The Worst Witch
Malory Towers
World’s Worst Children
Clarice Bean

The Green Knowe series Lucy M Boston
Narnia C S Lewis
Swallows & Amazons series Arthur Ransome
Tamora Pierce books?

Maybe ask her parents what she likes to read. My DN is advanced and gets all the children’s shakespeare / classics etc from school - but he loves Harry Potter and Horrid Henry so as his aunt that’s what I buy him.

The illustrated Harry Potter books are lovely keepsakes. DD read the first one at 7, they get darker as they progress but the first 3 are OK for strong younger readers.

The Kernowland series.

A pinch of magic by Michelle Harrison. I bought it for advanced reader DD for her 8th birthday and she loved it!

This is a US series but a good one- Zoey and Sassafras. It uses science and has a girl as a central character.
The Pippi Longstocking books.
Books by Tom Fletcher/David Walliams?
Michael Morpurgo books. As well as Dick King-Smith.
The Secret Garden.
A Thousand Dresses.

Thank you everyone! So many good ideas here. I generally introduce them to new books so I'd rather find something their parents wouldn't choose. Now I have too many options!

7 year old DD is currently enjoying some of the Michael Morpurgo books at the moment.

It's called Wolf and the Goats. Great message and isn't your usual story.

Naughtiest Girl series?

Good colouring fun:-
