I'm afraid I don't understand this statement. Many of the classics written for children use a more complex vocabulary than contemporary books. Whether classics or contemporary books, a child who is reading above her age/grade level may run into situations that were written for an older child, so I would recommend making sure you know what she's reading, no matter who recommends the books.
Definitely the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and the various books by L M Montgomery will be very good ones for her. Consider also
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell,
Heidi by Johanna Spyri,
Pollyanna by Eleanor Porter, and just about anything from Louisa May Alcott.
