Hello.  I am looking for suggestions for books that my 3rd grade daughter might like.  She LOVES Black Lagoon books right now.  She is interested in anything animal and enjoys mysteries.  She reads on a 3rd grade reading level.  She is just now showing an interest in reading so I am hoping to find some awesome books to get her reading!   Any suggestions for books that you think she might like are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

If you can find something on my shelf, am running a 5 for 1 deal on all children's books.   One title I do have on my shelf is 'Rent a 3rd Grader', don't know if that is her level.  thanks for looking.  Phyllis

There are a lot of great series books on a 2nd - 4th grade reading level that might be great for her. If she likes one then she can keep reading the rest of the series.

A to Z Mysteries by Ron Roy (first book: The Absent Author)

Bailey School Kids by Marcia Thornton Jones (first book: Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots)

Animal Ark by Ben Baglio (first book: Kittens in the Kitchen)

Geronimo Stilton books (first book: Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye)

Magic Tree House Books by Mary Pope Osbourne (first book: Dinosaurs Before Dark)

Froggy Books by Jonathan London (picture books)

I loved the Boxcar Children at that age but heck I wasn't erading c hapter books until that grade back then..my friend's niece was reading chapter books in 1st grade. she's 2nd or 3rd grade now and likes the animal ark books and also enjoyed erin hunter's warriors books about cats though they were more challenging. I got her Charlotte's Web and some Judy Blume for Christmas last year along with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think she liked those as well.
