If your grandaughter is a very good reader, the Nancy Drew series would be good. I know they are available from Fictionwise. There are some series out there that might be at a good reading level for her but the material might be too mature for her. Books by Madeline L'Engle are great, but the story lines might be a bit too advanced for her age. My daughter just completed 2nd grade and loves reading the Magic Tree House series of books. She can finish the whole book in about 45 minutes, but she comprehends what she is reading and understands the story lines. It's important (but sometimes very difficult) to get the reading level and comprehension level to match the child's age and ability.
I took a quick jump over to Fictionwise to see what books they have available and there are a few series listed in their New Ebooks section that might work for her. One is by Nancy Krulik (Katie Kazoo) the other is by Dan Greenburg (The Zack files). Hope this helps.
Oh, I just remembered, my older two children loved the Encyclopedia Brown and Boxcar Children series of books. I don't know if they are available as ebooks, yet.
