Actually my nine-year-old just read her first Nancy Drew and she LOVED it! But I was shocked when I read the back cover copy, it was a cyber-mystery! They still publish new ones, did you you know that??
My daughter loved a book called "Abby Carnelia's One and Only Magical Power" by David Pogue (yes, THAT David Pogue, the technology writer). It's little-known but hysterical. Age 8 or so.
She will read anything by Roald Dahl, also a lot of humor (in fact, he even has a quote in one of his books, something along the lines of, "what good is a children's book if it isn't funny?").
She is up to the fourth Harry Potter but will probably stop there for a while.
She was enthralled with the Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. I think that's for kids a little bit older than 9, she and I read it together.
