Fiction books for nearly 11 year old

[Jennywren8]

We have a long journey and could do Witt some fiction books for my DD - she is a young in her year so nothing too grittily but moved on from David Walliams etc. thanks x

Have you tried graphic novels?
My daughter reads the sweet valley high ones. There’s also Guts, Smile and a whole new range of babysitters books- all graphic novels. My daughter’s year loves them.

My 10 has recently read & enjoyed
Narnia
The Penderwicks (first 3)
Little house on the Prairie series
The Boggart books by Susan Cooper
Dragonskin Slippers series
Dork diaries

Lottie Brooks books too

Lottie brooks
School for good and evil
Percy Jackson

Classics to try that my DD enjoyed around that age are Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, Mallory Towers.

Sophie Ibbotson writes well and there are some Judy Blume’s aimed at younger readers.

Our Grandchildren loved The Young James Bond books by Charlie Higson, at that age.

Michael morpurgo does some lovely animal stories. Would also suggest Percy Jackson or the frostheart series

Zillah Bethell has two fantastic books out. I read them to the children in school. She is just the right age. The Shark Caller and the Song whisperer. Beautiful stories.

Jacqueline Wilson books - especially the historical Hetty Feather series.
Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz if she wants a bit of adventure.
Enid Blyton - I loved the school stories at that age (Malory Towers and St Clare's).
