DD is a good reader...but gets bored with much o what school provides. we struggle to read together as she gets at least one turn f one to one reading at school daily and so when we come to do her reading for that days homework she is often grumpy...each and every book she is given bores her.
The books are not too easy as such...but the stories don't inspire. Last night I thought sack this! And let her read aloud from Little Red Riding Hood which she's never read before 
and the part she liked most was when the wolf got chopped in two.
She's fond of ghosts and monsters, blood and gore! She has always been that way and as a horror fan I understand!
What books are suitable though which might interest her? Nothing outright disturbing obviously...but spooky/scary/gross and she'd be happy. I just want her to read aloud for me..her teacher says she reads well in school for her...and that she's probably tired when she gets home and knows she can more easily refuse me than teacher.
Any suggestions or advice please?
