My recommendation is "Justin Thyme". Like the Harry Potter series and the Dark Materials trilogy, it's aimed at kids but isn't too simplistic, (at least, for those who enjoy the likes of Pullman or Rowling). It's a fantasy adventure - but also a kind of intriguing whodunit with puzzling clues and hidden messages. It includes: the Loch Ness Monster, a teenage billionaire, a mysterious Scottish Laird, a celebrity cryptozoologist, a computer-literate gorilla, a Shakespearean gardener, a gigantic bald woman, and an eight-legged cat! The title character is a boy, but he shares the adventure with his older sister - who was my 9 year-olds favorite character in the whole book. My 12 year-old loved it too ...and, I have to admit, so did I! Best of all, there's nothing too scary or inappropriate for kids, so it's perfect bedtime reading!
Here's a link to it on Amazon

Get her some "Goosebumps" books by R.L. Stine.
I work as a teacher's assistant in a middle school library
and those books are checked out on a regular bases.
If your niece is a good reader you might want to consider
some Harry Potter books. Hope this helps.

You can check out the series of Harry Potter books, by Tolkien I think. Excellent books I even enjoy them and I am 21 years of age!
