*Ramona Quimby (MG has only read the first one but wants to read the others -- I loved these when I was younger)

* Ivy and Bean (MG has read 1-3 and likes it)

*Katie Kazoo Series

* She's finally into Junie B. Jones (but I'm not a fan of the

books)

*Amber Brown (about a 9 year old girl who is pretty spunky and faces everyday issues... most MG understands, others she questions -- like divorce)

*The Fairy Chronicles (she's reading through these pretty quickly and enjoys the adventures in each book)

**A Series of Unfortunate Events (I read 1 and 2 to all 3 then stopped for a bit. MG picked up number 3 and has not stopped reading! She's now on number 8 as of 12/3/11) -- as of January 2012, she finished the entire series!

Now (2/2012) she's reading a new series -- Pixie Tricks by Tracey West

5/20/2012 MG read The Genius Files - Never say genius by Dan Gutman and liked it (is looking for the other books to read)

Ribsy - poor Ribsy got lost and what an adventure we went on

Socks by Beverley Cleary
