SUMMER READING LISTS FOR GIRLS ages 6-12+

I was asked the other day to give a friend a book recommendation for her 7 year old grand daughter.  So I spent a minute hunting for what I thought would be a great series  per her request.  I came up with the following:

- American Girl's Collection 7+ (I love these because they teach history)

(There are many girls and a series about each American girl.)




- The Boxcar Children Series 7+ (classic)

- Cam Jansen (Mysteries) 8+

- Sister's Grimm by Michael Buckley - fractured fun fairy      tales, by Michael Buckley (very popular, but for older kids 8+ or older)
- A-Z Mysteries 7+

- Mrs. Piggle Wiggle 6+ (Shayla loved these, easy but funny)

- Ramona series... (classics)

- Classic Starters:  abridged classic stories in short easy     chapter form with pictures 8+

- Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborn 6-8+

-  Judy Moody Series by Megan McDonald ages 6-12

- Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

- 39 Clues (by various mystery authors)

- Junie B. Jones Series by Barbara Park 6+ (easier)-  
- Goose Girl Series (Shannon Hale 10+)
