Some better "easy" fairy/magic series I've found are the Fairy House, Fairy Chronicles, Fairy Realm, fourth grade fairy, the girl dragon and wild magic.

This is perfect! Especially Fairy Chronicles...that definitely looks like one that would be a great fit.

We do have the complete Roald Dahl collection already. grin
