Books for Young Girls

Here's a list of some of the best books Mira (age 7) has read this spring. Finding good, age approproriate books for her level of reading has been a real challenge as most of the bigger chapter books are geared for older girls, but here's a list of the best. Our little reader still reads about one chapter book every 1-2 days so we're constantly seeking out new books. Some books I don't approve of include the Junie B. Jones series. To see our earlier books lists visit here.

Great Books for Young Girls:
