reign Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I am looking for some new books for my oldest. Something slightly harder than magic treehouse. She can read a chapter from mth easily. Boxcar children is about right but she doesn't LOVE them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateincali Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Encyclopedia Brown by Donald Sobol Little House on the Prairie and maybe even Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew if she make that jump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I just wanted to re-suggest, "Franny K. Stein" with a link. (Now that I'm on the computer instead of an iPad) http://www.amazon.com/Lunch-Walks-Among-Franny-Scientist/dp/0689862954 It's about a girl who is a Mad Scientist, but not the kind who wants to take over the world. Nothing bad every really happens and for the most part everyone is nice to everyone. You can also try Moongooble by Bruce Coville http://www.amazon.com/The-Dragon-Doom-Moongobble-Me/dp/0689857578/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354633915&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=Moongooble The Littles by John Peterson http://www.amazon.com/Littles-John-Peterson/dp/0590462253/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354633930&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Littles The Canadian Flyer series (This is the Canadian version of MTH. But with more difficult writing. ) http://www.amazon.com/Canadian-Flyer-Adventures-Beware-Pirates/dp/1897066805/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354634027&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Canadian+Flyer We are also currently big fans of Ricky Ricotta and his Mighty Robot. It's a quick read and only takes about 15 minutes. There are currently 7 books in the series. It's action packed and even has Flip-O-Rama. http://www.amazon.com/Ricottas-Mighty-Jurassic-Jackrabbits-Jupiter/dp/0439376432/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354634132&sr=1-1&keywords=Ricky%2C+mighty+Robot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellen Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The Toys Go Out series. My son thinks they are hilarious and has reread them numerous times. He also really loves The Giant and the Jonses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
