Summer reads for young girls

Ellie J., soon to be 5th grader, shared some of her favorite "anytime", especially summer-time reads.  Here's what keeps Ellie's nose in books: 

"One of my favorite authors by far is Andrew Clements. I love the clever ways that he organizes his books. I have also read two books by Roald Dahl, 'Matilda' and 'The Witches'. His stories also have clever plots that draw you in. I also enjoyed 'The Westing Game', by Ellen Raskin. It is about heirs trying to find the answer to the "Westing game" because whoever wins gets the inheritance. This story also has a clever story line. As you can tell, I enjoy cleverly written books. I think that they draw you in more and leave you wanting more.

I hope these help!  Ellie

p.s.  Here are some of Ellie's favorite family games to play when she is not too busy reading:

Othello
Rummikub
Rush hour (child plays by him/herself!)
Classic UNO!!
Solitaire and double solitaire
War
UNO spin
Monopoly 
Mastermind
Boobytrap
