Spryte Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 DD is in 2nd grade. She needs a new book series, and I’m hitting a wall on what to try next. This school year she decided to read all the Magic Treehouse books, all the Merlin Mission books, and the Fact Checkers, too. She did it. She’s even read the most recent releases in both series, and the first book of the new “Super Editions.” She’s reading Roald Dahl at the moment, but would prefer a series. The MTH series was probably slightly below her reading level, but she enjoyed the characters, and especially the later books and the Super Edition book. She loved Zoey and Sassafras - but flies through those in an evening. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 My dd's loved the Betsy books: https://www.amazon.com/B-Betsy-Paperback/dp/015205099X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Can she manage Hamster Princess? Because that and Dragonbreath are, imo, pure gold. Everything Ursula Vernon touches is gold. Ack, it's too late, I'll make a new comment in the morning if I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasa Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 At that age, my daughter loved Violet Mackerel by Anna Branford (had to order the last two books from ebay in Australia since only the first six were published in the USA) and Cobble Street Cousins by Cynthia Ryland.

JessBurs Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 My 2nd grade DD recently got into the My America books. She also flew through Magic Treehouse books and has gotten into historical fiction after reading the American Girls books (originals as well as the mystery books). The My America books are like the Dear America books but written for slightly younger kids (I think it is targeted 3-5). I loved the Dear America books myself as a kid, but some of the content is just a little too mature for my DD, but when we discovered the My America books she took to them immediately. Mary Pope Osborne actually writes some of them too, which can be a good transition for historical fiction, MTH lovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Well if you asked my dd, she'd say Calvin & Hobbes and another other of the old comic series (Peanuts, Beetle Bailey, Family Circus, etc.) you can find, so there you go. Has she read the American Girl doll books? I hate 'em, but they're adequate. About that same level would be the Littles. Has she read any COFAs? They're the awesomest and there are over 200, which will keep her busy a while, lol. If you get the older, oop ones they have timelines, etc. in the back, which my dd enjoyed.

shawthorne44 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 DD is 3rd grade. But, we just discovered the Train Your Dragon series. We'd started it as an audiobook because David Tennant is the narrator. David Tennant was my first Doctor Who and therefore has a special place in my heart. But the books are an early elementary reading level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
