My niece loves to read. She devours The Baby Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. She reads at a 5th grade level (her age) but can enjoy books up to a high school reading level.
She loves books involving cupcakes and/or babysitting.
Will not touch books if they are scary, sci-fi, fantasy/magic, have traumatic event like murder (except as a distant background) She is easily frightened and didn’t start reading the Harry Potter series until her younger sister started it. (Sibling relationships are funny lol)
She’s not quite old enough for romance/sex in books beyond maybe a kiss.
She’s a voracious reader and so am I but I mostly read speculative fiction. If it’s not sci-fi, it’s usually magic/fantasy or lovecraftian. (Bonus for me if it’s all of them 😆) So most of what I could recommend wouldn’t work for her.
My sister has a hard time finding enough books for her (thank goodness we reread our books often) and most of what she finds are single books. Some new series for my niece would be lovely.

Madeline L’Engle has some great non-Sci fi stuff as well as her better known series. I’d also recommend E.L.Konigsburg.
