She might be a little young yet, as the hero is 11, but I would reccomend the Just William Books by Richmal Crompton.
They were favourites of mine and my Mother before me and can be enjoyed by all ages.

They concern the adventures of a boy,his friends and often a little girl called violet Elizabeth and are set in the 1930's in England. They are very funny as they show the adult world through the eyes of a naughty, but always well meaning child.
