Judy Blume was an excellent read.
Enid Blyton was one of my favourites growing up and she has written books for various age groups. Although I think children nowadays are more mature than I was at that age.
Encyclopedia Brown and Bailey School Kids books were my favorites at that age.

Dick King-Smith books are good too and Roald Dahl of course. Not too long, nice simple language and good chapter length and structure
Junie B. Jones was my first favorite chapter books.

David Walliams books are brilliant for a girl of this age.

Babysitters club is incredible❤️
I read it when I was that age. All of it except a series of. I could never get my hands on all the books, so I never got to finish that one. The rest I have read and loved em
Roald Dahl BFG, Jame and the giant peach, Goose bumps series,
Kate dicamillo
Pollys piralympics by @Jann
Lily’s Ghosts by Laura Ruby is really good. Deals with death and a murder mystery, but not in a very deep way.
“The faraway tree” series by Enid Blyron is one of my favourites
Omg my students also love the poppy pendle books too
A wrinkle in time is a great book for that age. You should also try Mary poppin books
The Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery or The Secret Garden.
‘The famous five’ by Enid Blyton!
Narnia
My daughter (8) loves the Hamster Princess books by Ursula Vernon.
The Necronomicon
Paleeeeeez!
@Gary sorry just being a troll lol ?
Dangerous book to be playing with. People die because of it.
@Gary how so? I haven’t known Cthulhu to rise out of the ocean and eat innocent book readers.
That isn’t the real Necronomicon. The real one is book of spells and calling up spirits.
@Gary so you’re an Evil Dead fan? There’s no real Necronomicon. Lovecraft made it up and any publications after have also been works of fiction.
@Natasha Not a fan of anything, and there is a real Necronomicon. I took it away from my son and burned it back about 25 years ago.
@Gary that’s awesome! I’d love to get a copy do you know the publishing house?
@Natasha Wouldn’t tell you if I remembered. Not kidding, those who dabble in that kind of shit tend to die violently.
@Gary state one source
How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell
Series of Unfortunate Events
My weird school series
Wendy Mass
Geronimo stilton
My daughter loved ‘Dork Diaries’ at that age
Baby sitters club!!!!
Nancy Drew!!!
Ever after high series by shannon hale!
Percy Jackson. Harry Potter would be nice to start around the age of 11 too since that’s when they started school and all.
Loved both of these series. Also the Lemony Snickett books.
I think every girl needs to read Stargirl and Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. It has such a great message. ?
That was my favorite book of all time as a child!!!
Books by Karen Cushman and Patricia Reilly Giff
Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield,
Also Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, I remember reading The Agony of Alice and now I see that there’s a whole series
Maybe Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden ? Harry Potter is pretty much a given. Judy Blume books (she seems to be a fave with pre-teens and teens). I also loved books by Norma Klein, growing up. Shel Silverstein is a good author for that age range. Also, for authors: M.E. Kerr and Beverly Cleary. There’s also the Boxcar Children books (series) by Gertrude Chandler Warner, and the Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis.
Then of course, you have classics like Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, books by Mark Twain and more.
I loved Trixie Belden books!

Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink is a good read.
