Ramona and Beezus by Beverly Cleary

These books are my favorite books ever they are absolutely hysterical I love these books and own the whole series twice. I think these are great books for all ages they are completely appropriate and are just so fun. They did make a movie based on the books and definetely do not like the moveie at ALL they completely changed and made it all boyfriend - girlfriend which I don't exactly get into. I really like these books and they are great for all ages.  P.S. The top picture is the cover of the movie.

The Lucy Series by Nancy Rue

The Lucy Series by Nancy Rue are fun series about a ten year old tomboy living alone with her blind father now that her mother has died. She just can't stand her pesky aunt and loves to play soccer with the boy next door. (No Romance =) I liked this series alot and highly recommend this series for 9+

The Sophie Series by Nancy Rue

I highly recommend these books for 8+.

Cinderella (As if you didn't already know the story) by Barbara Ensor

This version of Cinderella is completely hysterical and one you really should read. It is the story of Cinderella except with a completely new twist so funny. I really liked this one and the other one  in the series Thumbelina. 

Waiting for Normal by Leslie Conner

Waiting for Normal is an overall okay book but definitely not my favorite.  The book is about a girl who lives with her now single mother who is a little to lazy and a little too carefree and can't seem to get a job.  If  you really like books that are a little different but not inappropriate this is a good book.

The Bobbsey Twins by Laura Lee Hope

The Bobbsey Twins are great mystery series that have like, 55 books in the whole series I think. I like them because they are really good mysteries and once you start reading them you can't stop. They are about 2 sets of twins that are brothers and sisters and always like to solve a fun mystery.  These are fun books for all ages.
