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.
