Books for 7 year old girl

Ballet shoes?

If you go onto the dreaded Amazon site and put in books for 7-9 year old girls - or similar - you will get a list and you could have browse through.

Although don’t restrict your search to 7 year old girls, just put in 7 year olds.Girls like adventure books too!
Enid Blyton, David Walliams, Tom Gates, and what about some classic books like The Secret Garden, Tom’s Midnight Garden etc.

My granddaughters love anything by David Williams.

Walliams!! Auto correct.

I recently bought Fearless Fairytales by Connie Huq( former Blue Peter presenter) for my 7yr old granddaughter and her 5yr old brother and they love it. Just released a few weeks ago, it’s a modern and amusing take on traditional fairy tales.

My 7 year old granddaughter has just enjoyed Charlott's Web as a bedtime story though she did find it a little bit sad.

Tracey Beaker books may be something she enjoys, although the characters are not all sweetness and light.

Worst Witch books by Jill Murphy.

If she likes animals look at books by Holly Webb - nice stories for that age and a good selection

Matilda by Roald Dahl - irreverent but relatable.

Matilda by Roald Dahl. Irreverent but relatable.

The Sophie stories by Dick King Smith. Just right for an animal lover. Also My Naughty Little sister by Dorothy Edwards.

David Walliams, Tom Gates, Roald Dahl, Harry Potter. Also Amazon but don’t restrict your search to 7 year old girl. If you are reading the books to her they can be above her reading level ability.

The Enid Blyton books like the Famous Five series, or the ...... of Adventure series are still good. A couple of chapters a night are good for bedtime.

The Worst Witch series, or the series about Ramona Quimby by Beverly Cleary

If you’re reading aloud, the Narnia books by C S Lewis should go down well.

I know they're considered old fashioned but I think you still can't beat The Secret Seven, Famous Five, Mallory Towers books by Enid Blyton.
Also Roald Dahl, Jaqueline Wilson ( maybe more for older girls) and of course the old classics. I think What Katy Did would be just about OK.

Wind in the Willows.
Black Beauty.
Tarka the Otter.

Also Heidi, Pippi Longstocking, Pollyanna.

My daughter used to love all the Dick King Smith books. The Sheep Pig (Babe) Martin's Mouse etc. We read her all the Narnia books and Swallows and Amazons. Personally I loved What Katy Did, Little Women, The Railway Children and, of course all the Enid Blyton books. There are so many out there old and new. I bet you enjoy reading them as much as she does.

My Dad gave me "The Borrowers" for my seventh birthday, when it was first published. I still love it!

Paul Gallico books are wonderful, especially 'Jennie'. The language is a bit dated but the story is superb.
