My daughter has just turned 9 & has only in the last 6 months become interested in reading books...
She's read most of the Jacqueline Wilson books (Hetty Feather series & a few others) & has lately started reading Cathy Cassidy (Chocolate box girls) - but do you lot have any recommendations?
I have to admit that I've steered her away from Enid Blyton as I don't think her books give a realistic look at life (don't get me wrong, I was brought up on Famous Five, Secret Seven & Malory towers and loved them - but I also grew up thinking that all of life's problems could be solved with a picnic & ginger beer or a good old singsong & a few heel clicks in the street with the neighbours!)
So, suggestions please - doesn't have to be too girly either (she loves Dr Who) just a good read.
