Oh, my gosh, yes. The Jewel Fairy books. D2 was addicted. Even spent her own money on them. And Junie B Jones (agree with the ugh!), but she loved them. The Boxcar Children (the first one) is a book without pictures, but with a fairly simple story that might catch your D's attention. D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths was another favorite at that level. How about Catswings, by Ursula Le Guin. And I don't know any early reader who is not taken with the My Father's Dragon series by Ruth Stiles Gannett.
