How about going for humour? E.g. my DS loves (and has done for some years) the Professor Branestawm books, e.g. this one (not sure if you can get them where you are; I've been buying most second-hand as there used to be a whole series but many are out of print). There must be other good humorous series but nothing is coming to mind right now... The Cressida Cowell dragon series is not without fighting, but it's handled in a way that might be acceptable - there's some suspense but no gore and I don't remember any character dying.

Also there must surely be *some* kind of non-fiction she'd like... maybe it might be worth you saying something about what she's interested in?

I'd second idea that she should read whatever she fancies and that it's fine if that's nothing, or only books way below her reading level, for a bit, too.
