I was told last year that almost all books can now be found on the accelerated reader list, although I am sure it takes a little bit for the brand new ones to show up.
I have told my GT students to make use of the public library as much as possible. One of my GT students took a reading list that I had and looked up the AR level and point value for me - this should be available from your school either in a notebook or on the computer.
Also, AR level is just based on vocabulary. I have found that it is very rare to find a fiction book above an 8th grade AR level. Also there are 4th grade level books in AR that I would not allow even a 5th grader to read because of the content or the depth of the topic. I feel too many students are choosing books based on AR level only and not on the content or topic.
Has she read any of the Lois Lowry books? You might look into these - although they are 4th and 5th grade AR level, they have a very deep level of thought that is required to understand them. I would suggest reading one of them first, so you can decide whether she will like them. I am talking about The Giver, The Messenger, Finding Blue, and Gossamer. Lowry has also written some books on lighter topics as well, although I have never read them.
