Book Ideas - 10YO

I'm looking for some recommendations for DD10, she's a really advanced reader and reads a good 2-3 books a week on her kindle and I'm really running out of ideas.

She reads anything she loves fantasy, but equally non fiction just any ideas I may have missed.

Author Onjali W Rauf - the boy at the back of the class and a few other titles.
Susan Nelson we are all made of molecules and a few other titles.
One of mine loved little women and then went onto watch and critique both films!
I have advanced readers my teacher relative suggested getting the suggested reading lists got year 7/8 for some inspiration.

Some great recommendations above. Don't think anyone has mentioned Eva Ibbotson - she's brilliant, anything by her but particularly Journey to the River sea. Also recommend:

Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend
The Wizards of Once series by Cressida Cowell
The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Jon Aiken
The Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart

The boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Rauf
