Timing is bad, because we can't take her to a bookstore or the library to browse the shelves herself. We're trying to find things on our own. Goosebumps flopped (she's a little too young. She mainly found them boring), Captain Underpants was great until she watched the series on Netflix and the books lost their lustre.

So far, the two that gained the most traction are the Roald Dahl boxed set and the Encyclopedia Brown books.
I tried Goosebumps with my son - he liked the TV show, and I bought him several of the books for Xmas we talked about but he wasn't into reading them. I did get him to make bookmark crafts with me for awhile, you may try that with her and see if she enjoys that.
