The Very Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone. Brimming with cool, funny and inspirational female characters. My DS loved it even though it's about a girl!

The Lottie brooks series , by Kate Kirby

A Girl Called Justice series

My DD is 9 and loves the Diary of a Wimpy kid series.

Varjak Paw has been very popular recently in our house along with The Animals Of Farthing Wood.

My 9 year old really loves Secret Seven books

My 9yr old DD loves the Lightning Girl series by Alesha Dixon. There's 4 in the series.

Thank you all so much! Lots of ideas to check out :)

The Worst Witch

Lots of the above but also Michelle Harrison has a couple of series that mine started reading at 9 (13 treasures/secrets/curses, pinch of magic/tangle of spells etc) & still loves 18+ months on.

I loved Mallory Towers that age. Also Little House on the Prairie but that might be a bit naff now.

DD1 read the Little House series earlier this year. She absolutely loved it, but it did need several un-sugared history lessons and ongoing discussions running alongside it. Western films and games of 'cowboys and Indians' aren't something she's familiar with so she didn't even have a basic (white-washed) understanding of the backdrop, let alone the real history of the deaths and displacement of native people. There are also a few specific parts during the series that needed to be talked about too, such as Pa (and others) blacking up as entertainment.
Overall, I'm glad she read and enjoyed them, as it opened her up to learn about a whole section of history and way of life that she otherwise isn't exposed to in the UK. BUT I'm glad we'd chosen to read them together rather than just hand them over. It had been 30 years since I'd read them, and I didn't remember/hadn't been aware at the time of the troublesome parts.

the Wild Magic Trilogy by Celine Kiernan?

they're lovely, and - wonder of wonder - the parents are also involved in the child's life.

Thanks for this.

I've been a bit shocked at the number of books where the parents are dead/absent. Or the children describe their parents as brain dead for not buying them an iPhone...

Can you tell I don't have children yet?!

I mean the parents are necessarily absent for parts, otherwise there would be no adventure, but they are supportive and lovely and protective when they need to be.
GIve it a go - there are some lovely characters in it. But the involved parent bit is the part that made me give a bit of an air punch.
