Recent successes: Miss Happiness and Miss Flower, and Harriet the Spy (she has been completely silent all weekend with her nose in it -- says it's the best book she has ever read)
However, we are working with a tiny palette here. She has marked aversion to magic, ghosts, fairies, witches, wizards and mild jeopardy. Even the Famous Five is 'too scary'. Ditto Gobellino. Harry Potter -- well, I wish.
She has done the E Blyton school series, Clever Polly, the young-end Jacqueline Wilsons, Jeremy Strong, Horrid Henry, Ramona.
Any pointers? The chunkier the better. Harriet the Spy feels like a step on from her usual reading matter, and it has really engaged her, so I think she could be stretched.
