-Gone-Away Lake and Return to Gone-Away
-The Green Knowe books (starts with The Children of Green Knowe; they might be a teensy bit scary)
-Maybe some of John Bellairs books (like The House with the Clock in its Walls, although they may be too scary)
-The Borrowers (and sequels)
-Little House on the Prairie series
-The Cricket in Times Square
-The Westing Game (and other books by Ellen Raskin, but I guess they are really mysteries)


Last year DS8 read George's Secret Key to the Universe (by Steven Hawking) and its sequels, and really enjoyed them.
