Reading suggestions for bright 7yo

[Polar81]

My DD (7) is a big reader and with lots of time on our hands in lockdown we're beginning to exhaust our book supply. I'm therefore looking for book suggestions. I tend to go back to ones I read as a child when recommending (Enid Blyton, C.S.Lewis etc) but am aware there's a whole world of more modern books out there.

For context, she's read the Harry Potter series, Narnia series, Michael Morpurgo collection, Heartland, Famous Five etc. As you can probably tell, she is a bit of a serious soul so suggestions please. Thanks in advance

Has she read Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events?

No- that's a great suggestion. I read them 10+ years ago but had forgotten all about them. Thank you!

Percy Jackson books?

Not modern but I absolutely adored the Just William books by Richmal Crompton at that age - would still find them amusing now!

Not modern, but Swallows and Amazons

All great suggestions- thank you.

The Goth Girl series is lovely, my daughter really enjoyed them. Something that may be a bit old for her yet is the Cogheart series, again a bit unusual but beautifully written.

Mydd the older books when my dd was this age. Anne of Green Gables, Just William, Swallows and Amazons, Ballet Shoes series.

More modern stuff she liked
Warrior cats
Dealing with dragons

Wizards of Once
Worst Witch (might be a bit simple, but my 7&8yo DDs love them)

We are currently enjoying Twisted Tales- the Disney film books with a twist. Reading the Frozen one at the moment.

Their 'Guided Reading' from school is Road Dahl books at the moment.

My ds loves the ‘how to train your dragon’ series and is about to give ‘the hobbit’ a go.

My daughter has loved the Podkin series, it's basically LOTR meets Watership Down, and she is fanatical about them.

Has she tried Charlotte's Web or The Queen's Nosr
?

I used to love the worst witch series, and the naughtiest girl in the school. And adored anything by Roald Dahl.

The David Walliams ones?

I loved Anne of Green Gables that’s a shout
Eragon
Artemis Fowl

She’s read all of the Harry Potters at 7 though I remember being a bit traumatised by the first one when I was 8, never mind the later ones which get dark!

My story series
Horrible histories

If she likes maths my DD loved Murderous Maths at that age

First aid for fairies series
The Castle on Tuesdays series
Nim’s Island series

Railway children
101 Dalmatians

Ivy & bean? The writing would be young for her but they are funny & utterly delightful - all my much older kids listen in when I read them to my 5 yr old

Spiderwick Chronicles?
Yy to Just William (although i think i was a little older to enjoy that.)
Pratchett’s childrens books? (eg The Wee Free Men, Truckers, or The Amazing Maurice?

How about The Children of Greene Knowe by Lucy M Boston?

Or maybe E Nesbit (Five Children and It)?

More great suggestions- thanks. She's read The Hobbit, Roald Dahl and The Worst Witch, but The Podkin series sounds right up her street. She wants LOTR but I really think she's too young to fully understand / enjoy it.

Danny the Champion of the World
Tom’s midnight garden
Just William stories
Goodnight Mister Tom (Depending how sensitive the 7 year old)
Horrible Histories

If you're wanting modern, the Hotel Flamingo series is quite lovely. The Adventures of Mr Penguin are quite funny. DDs also enjoy Zoe's Rescue Zoo (but I find them quite repetitive). Fabio the Flamingo Detective isnt bad.

Wow! So many replies I hadn't even seen! With HP, it was a slippery slope - she was totally obsessed, and we made her pause after book 4, but it was only a matter of time before reading the others so I eventually caved.

Had forgotten The Borrowers, I loved that book and so did my kids (male and female).

The Redwall books by Brian Jacques are v popular in this house, as well as the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series by Michelle Paver (DS aged 8).

The 'Nicholas' series by Goscinny and Sempe.

Funny, gentle stories set in France.

Published by Candlewick Press iirc. Hopefully not out of print.

Books by Kate diCamillo -
The Tale of Despereaux, and
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
