Hi HonEnid,
I said I would get you a list of BarringtonStoke books for your dd.
Here is the list one of the senior editors recommends:
Fox Friend by Michael Morpurgo
The Smallest Horse in the World by Jeremy Strong
PomPom by Michaela Morgan
Tracking by Gill Harvey (FYI title)
Sammy and the Starman by Anne Cassidy
Outcast by Narinder Dhami
The Stepsisters' Story by Kaye Umasnky
Catch A Gran by Diana Hendry
Dragon! By Hilary McKay
Pet School by Jenny Oldfield
Mad Iris and Mad Iris Goes Missing by Jeremy Strong
Zack Black and the Magic Dads by Annie Dalton
Hope it's useful. I have found them to be very good, not just the stories but the easy sentence structure, type face etc.
