Help, Book Suggestions Please

Hi all I need to take advantage of all that font of knowledge out there and so have hijacked the forum to do it (Sorry Steve!!!!!) My friend has rather boldly taken on the task of trying to purchase new books for the junior library of the primary school that our children go to. She would love to hear book suggestions for children in years 3 to 6, so roughly 7 to 11 year olds. The school is a C of E school attended by a broad spectrum including some very acedemic kids and so variety is the key to cater for all tastes. She is particulary struggling to find reading matter for girls. Animal stories are fine, but she worries about the content of some of the current authors such as Jacqueline Wilson in a school library. As she put it, "I picked up one and read the line 'does this make my bum look fat' and didn't think I should buy it for school". She appreciates girls mature faster than boys etc but feels nervous about stocking the library with books that might cause offence to some parents. She is however open minded and if your experience of these books is positive then she would love to hear your views. So please have a rummage around your own children's reading matter or ideas from your own reading and post your suggestions and if possible a few words to describe the books here so that I might pass them on to my friend. Thanking you all in anticipation of your help Sue
