It's Bock, Velleman, and de Veaux's "Stats: Modelling the World."

I can't speak to the math (yet) but the writing style is very engaging and amusing, so it's right up my DD's alley. I'll update as I have a chance to look through it further.
Please do: I shall probably be in the market for a good stats book some time soon.

Mind you, the match between what's in A level stats here and what's in AP stats there seems very loose, and it doesn't even seem to be that one asks more than the other - but my understanding of stats isn't good enough to see what's underlying the different choices that have been made in designing these syllabuses. If you're interested enough to look, the contents of units S1-S4, starting on page 79 here, are what I'm comparing with.
