Recommendations please for story books that will appeal to my almost 9 year old dd (reads below her age) to stop her reading Horrid Henry!!

She has to read to me every night and atm is ploughing through Horrid Henry, I didnt realise there were so many books and the school library seem to have them all. Now, far be it from me to discourage her reading (it has taken enough blood and tears to get this far) I would love to find something else that would appeal to her without looking too young (this is a consideration as her friends all read much more 'advanced' books) and prefereably something new rather than a classic ( she feels embarrassed taking my knackered old books in apparently)

Oh, the books about Tilly Beany by Annie Dalton. Great fun.

For a different approach, I can recommend the THRASS SING-A-LONG book and double CD. See www.thrass.co.uk/sing-a-long.htm Doesn't seem much but all the songs have a different musical style e.g. Rock & Roll, jive, hoedown, twist.... jazz!
