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

Not sure if it's her kind of thing but my 8 year old and her friends are enjoying Amelia fang books at the moment.

Mr Popper's Penguins. I forget the author.

Alice in Wonderland, and The Wind in the Willows might stretch her.

Going back in time, OP, so apologies if these are a bit lame - but my DD (DC5) absolutely loved the Adventure Island series at that age (so much so that she wrote to the author and had a reply!) She read these after exhausting the Famous Five, Malory Towers etc. She also loved the Baker Boys series and a series about witches, and the "How to train your Dragon" series. Also the Five Find Outers (Enid B) - she read my copies, which had previously been my Dad's!

I wish she still read so avidly. She now only reads crap on Snapchat!

yes to Redwall books, goth girl, also classics Secret Garden and A Little Princess.
dd loves Jacqueline Wilson too.
There are never ending Enid Blytons to work through.
Emma Donoghue has a great series called The Lotterys.

Just remembered my DC4 and 5 also love the Cornelia Funke Ghosthunters series when they were younger. There was also a Michael Bond series of four (I think!) books - Jake Cake??

Are you looking for books she can read herself, or books for you to read to her op?

Thanks again everyone- I'm looking for both books she can read to herself and books we can read to her. She does still really enjoy being read to but also needs something in the day when I'm entertaining her two year old brother.

As well as all those above, my 8yo good reader says Max Einstein, Railhead, Roman Mysteries (she says that’ll keep her going for a while, there’s about 14 in the series).

As her mum, I say to encourage re-reading!

Has she read the how to train your dragon series? They are excellent.

An oldie - 'Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH'.

Would the 'Little House on the Prairie' series appeal to her?
I found 'Farmer Boy' by Laura Ingalls Wilder much better than the Little House series, personally. It's the story of her husband's rural childhood.

The Nancy Drew mysteries are pitched nicely for younger readers.

Books by Madeleine L’Engle.

The Royal Diaries series and the Dear America diaries series. Historical fiction, well written series, plenty of titles in each. There is lots of well researched historical detail and the characters are very engaging.

Books by Geoffrey Trease - historical fiction, many of his earlier books are out of print and cost a lot second hand. However, some of his later work is available in paperback, used, for reasonable prices. Great writing and gripping plots.

The Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin.

• Just a note though: For a 7 year old, make sure you vet books for emotional accessibility and suitability. A child can have as hard a time processing the emotional content of situations in books to the same extent that she might experience difficulty processing any other media pitched at older viewers.
