She's enjoyed Percy Jackson series (and is rereading them), Malorie Blackman and Berlie Doherty. Any ideas for a few books I could get her for Christmas?
There's so much choice out there...I don't feel I know where to look or what to look for...

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief by A. F. Steadman.

Unicorns, but not as you know them. Dangerous elemental creatures, "they don't belong in dreams, but in nightmares"

My daughter loved it, and honestly, so did I! The world building was excellent.

A Boy called Christmas

I got DD the first Warrior Cats book last Christmas and she was initially put off because the cover looks pretty dull but over the course of the last year she's read tonnes of them and is pretty obsessed.

@noblegiraffe warrior cats is giving me 'podkin one ear' vibes (rabbits instead of cats) which she really enjoyed.

This is my 10 yr old DD's favourite book!

She has now moved onto dragons. There are a lot of dragon series, Wings of fire by T Sutherland is her favourite.
