Oh and The Book Thief... Combines everything she loves! It's got history (takes place during World War II), and (as you can tell from the title) it's about books. The main character is about her age too, I think she's 11.
Jacquiline Wilson she is one of the most prolific childrens authors out there and her novels have even spawned a tv series popular with young girls in the adventures of tracey beaker.
