Books with a YOUNGER sibling as main character

My daughter (10) is getting fed up that all her books feature older siblings as the main character, with annoying younger siblings.

Can anyone please recommend books/tv shows/films where the protagonist is a younger sibling - and not an annoying one!!

My family and other animals, written by the youngest sibling and very entertaining!

I enjoyed the Ally's World series at about that age, the protagonist in that is the third of four siblings

The little house on the prairie books - I think the younger one is the protagonist. They're not to go on the list for their feminist merits though...

The main character in A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll is the youngest sister with 2 older sisters. Great book.

I was going to suggest that one - I second that book completely,

The Dark is Rising - the main protagonist is the youngest child of a very large family.
