Sideways Stories from Wayside School. The Great Brain. Matilda. Anastasia Krupnik. Nate the Great. No Flying in the House. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I guess she's still a little young for From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Because books.
Oh, that's Ghosts I Have Been, I think, Kathy! I loved that. Richard Peck and John Neufeld were huge staples for me.

Is she too young for Edward Eager, Sox? Because I really enjoyed them, and I think if she likes Narnia, she'll like those, too.

Ghosts I Have Been
Yes! Such a good book. It was spun off from The Ghost Belonged to Me, which is also excellent.

Elizabeth Enright! Gone-Away Lake! The Melanies! The Four Story Mistake!
Though I'm not sure of the proper age group on those.

Ooh, I loved Elizabeth Enright, though got a bit confused over some of the old-fashioned terminology. Also loved Edward Eager. And E Nesbit!!
