Oh, yes... Understood Betsy is a good one!

Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Engdahl is also a good one.

In a year or two some of the Pern books by Anne McCaffrey have strong female characters. And when my daughter was in third grade she read "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" by Laurie R. King, so in another year or two you might introduce that one.
