DD is about to be 11 and is getting a portable DVD player - her request. She saw a friend with one and hasn't stopped talking about it. Thing is - she doesn't own any DVDs! I'd love to get her a couple of box sets so she can watch an episode in bed rather than a whole film, but no idea what to get. She's reading Mallory towers right now, likes David Williams. Adored watching just add magic, though found it scary in parts and I had to talk her down. Also loves Gortimer Gibbons. Can't bear Disney princesses. Any ideas?
