Book/series recommendations for 10 year old girl?

The Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace may interest her. They span the author's childhood to young adulthood in the transition from the 1800s to WW1. A charming series originally published in the 1940s so shouldn't present any objectionable topics.

Definitely the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. Similar timeframe as Betsy-Tacy but set on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Much better than most videos of the original book.

Did you know that Mary Poppins is actually the first book of 4 by Pamela Travers? I warn you, though, that Travers's character scarcely resembles Julie Andrews's portrayal. For that reason, I've never liked the Disney movie. Emily Blunt's performance is somewhat more like the real Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins in the books is self-satisfied and haughty while Jane and Michael are much more realistic and sometimes very badly behaved as children can easily be.

If your daughter is into horses a wonderful series you should check out is a series called Horse Angel and it's written by a woman named Angela Dorsey and it's a series centered on an angel named Angelica who helps various characters and their horses in many different situations and is very cool. The Horse Angel series was originally sold by Pony Club but when Pony Club quit selling them a company called Enchanted Pony Books now owns them and the series is retitled Horse Guardian. Other horse books your daughter might like are the Sandy Lane Stables series and Thoroughbred series too

Zombie Thread Alert: The OP is from 2009 so I hope her now 20-something DD is able to pick out her own books.

I haven’t heard of the Horse Angel series so I’m going to check it out for my own DD who is already inhaling books.

If she likes graphic novels, The Berrybrook Middle School series by Svetlana Chmakova is my favorite!

Also, a lot of time, my reluctant readers prefer to read novels in verse since it feels like less reading and gets them hooked. There are some great ones out there.
Crossover and Rebound by Kwame Alexander
Lifeboat 12 by Susan Hood
Forget Me Not by Ellie Terry
House Arrest by K.A. Holt
Canyon’s Edge by Dusti Bowling

I hope you find something she likes!
