Some Recommended Chapter Books for Girls

It's summer and it's time to share new reads with the kids who are off from school. The following list are books that I have recommended to young girl readers who are approximately 3 grade and up (and don't worry, a boy's is coming soon!). We have humor, mysteries, ghost stories, adventures, newer titles and classic titles! Hopefully there is at least one that peaks a reader's interest.
