My 9 year old daughter loves Isadora Moon, Amelia Fang, Rainbow Grey, Bad Nana, Bad Panda, Boot etc. She's a big reader but we're running out of road on these kind of books. I've tried buying ones that are more like novels but she won't stick with them. What other books and series might you recommend for her? Novels with no pictures and long chapters are out. Thank you!

Has she tried Jacqueline Wilson? She's the prime age.

Holly Webb is also great for that age. The Jasmine Green books by Helen Peters are lovely too. Zoe's Rescue Zoo is another popular series.

My Best Fiend series (old as they were around when we were young but they were re-released a while back)

Dick King-Snith has some lovely books for that age too.

Thank you @BoleynMemories13 , Jacqueline Wilson has been hit and miss. I will check out the others.

Good books my DD (similar age and taste) has enjoyed:

  • Willow Wildthing and the swamp monster
  • Grimwood series (very funny)
  • Charlie turns into a chicken
  • 13 story treehouse

....although she's in a beast quest hole at the moment that I'm really not enjoying but looking forward to her tiring of as they're awful!

Thanks @everyredsock , she's loved the tree house books (we did them as audiobooks which I highly recommend), I'll check the others out.

Thank you all so much, Santa brings some books each year and I have four new ones to try her with - I could find the first book of Zoes Rescue Zoo, Grimwood, Peanut Jones and Leonora Bolt in the book shop and they all look great.
