Book suggestions

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

Encyclopedia Brown by Donald Sobol

Little House on the Prairie

 

and maybe even Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew if she make that jump!

[Julie Smith]

Ricky ricotta and his mighty robot

Franny k. Stein (really great)

Mercy Watson

Nate the great

Flat Stanley

Geronimo Stilton

 

 

My kids are right at this spot. We have lots of books put from the library.

 

[Faithr]

Bunnicula series, Flat Stanley series, Wayside School books. Homer Price, The Toothpaste Millionaire, American Girl series.

 

Just trying to think of books my kids enjoyed during those transitioning to real chapter books period.

I just wanted to re-suggest, "Franny K. Stein" with a link. (Now that I'm on the computer instead of an iPad)

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.

The Canadian Flyer series

(This is the Canadian version of MTH. But with more difficult writing. )

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.

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.
