This is a tough one! She loves reading, and is a grade or two advanced so reads like a 9 or 10 year old but ends up rejecting most books for her age or above due to “themes”. She loves magic, fantasy, animals, mystery stories, treasure hunts, cats, and girl friendships… but is freaked out by the folowing:
ghosts, bogeymen, dark spirits, the end of the world/world being taken over by dark forces etc…
death of parents, loved ones…
animals getting hurt or dying, or the threat of this happening…
Too much dramatic tension, eg. will the main character get away from danger in time?
She loves and has been reading for over a year the Thea Sisters, Ivy and Bean, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Babysitters Club… and needs more advanced stuff…
Your suggestions please??
