Have you read the Babysitter Club books? I like them because they're about a
group of strong girls with different skills and interests,and personalities,
who capably start their own successful business. They really care about the
children they babysit for. And the biggest thing stressed in all the books is
that they are close friends.

Read a couple. Talk to your daughter about why she likes the books. Ask her
who her favorite characters are and why. If she likes to draw, she may
admire Claudia, who is an artist. Whatever, you'll get some good insight into
your daughter, and may appreciate the books more. Enjoy!

Also, you'll get some idea of other books to suggest that she might
enjoy. I think I would just bring home a pile of various kinds of books
from the library each week and let her know that she's welcome to choose
any or none of them to read. Chances are, something on the cover of one of
them will spark her interest. You might want to show her the blurb that's
either on the back or the inside front cover of most novels that tells
something about the book. Those blurbs are *meant* to hook the reader. <g>
