Answer 3

I don't know what age of girl you are asking about, but I've heard "Little Women" is good. Personally I couldn't get enough of Tamera Pierce's stuff (some has more mature themes though), and Meg Cabot writes really good books. All the Anne of Green Gables books (again, I've heard things about them, but I thought they were a teeny bit boring). Hmm... who else? Patricia C. Wrede's "Mairelon the Magician" is a fun read, and there is a sequel called "The Magician's Ward" that is just as fun. Diana Wynne Jones' "Howl’s Moving Castle" is a must. Robin McKinley rewrites fairy tales with her own spin on them, all of her books are REALLY good and an absolute must for the girl that loves fairy tales. I devoured all her books when I discovered them. Garth Nix's The Abhorsen Trilogy is amazing as well, the writing and imagery is second to none. Marianne Curley's The Guardians of Time Trilogy is also good. If she won't mind reading a book that doesn't have a girl as the main character (all the books I've mentioned so far do, at least I'm 99% they do) then Orson Scott Card's "Ender’s Game" is something she could try.

If the girl is a bit older and enjoys fairy tales I would recommend Charles de Lint. He is a really good author but is more of a Young Adult to Adult author.

Well, I think that is a good list of all my favorite books.

Answer 6

the Honeybunch series. Oh my, the author's name just flew right out of my head. Just type honeybunch in and all sorts of web sites will come up about the books. They were written in the 20s and 30s, nice clean stories about a little girl and her adventures. They can still be found on line and not too expensive. My grandmother and auntie used to read them to me when I was a girl. I am getting ready to buy some for my grand daughter. I thought my auntie still had them but I have not found them. I feel all cozy just remembering.

Answer 7

Tamora Pierce for sure, especially the Wild Magic series. It'll show young women that it's OK to assert yourself and be men's equals.

Answer 8

I loved the Little House on the Praire books when I was younger.
