My daughter is about to enter grade 5, but is reading at a grade 3 level. She absolutely loves the show Voltron: Legendary Defender, and has watched all 8 seasons start to finish a half dozen times. I'm trying to find a book that'll grab her attention and interest in the same way. Can anyone recommend something? Thank you!
