So my friend just proudly informed me that my goddaughter who I've helped raise since she was born, is apparently reading way above her expected grade level, and is expected to advance even further by the end of the year.
Now I've already picked up a few books to give to her to read, that I think she would enjoy, but I was looking for some more. Preferably with a female protagonist for her to identify with, though that's not 100% required.
I'm currently giving her my Dragonsinger series of novels by Anne McCaffery, but I'd like some ideas on other books to get for her to start reading. She's in the first grade, but is reading at 3rd grade, and her teacher suspects she will be at 5th grade level by the end of the year.
So, any ideas?
I'm already planning on getting things like Nancy Drew, and Harry Potter, but I'd be interested to know about any other books that might be fun for her to read, either fantasy or scifi.
