If you like A Series of Unfortunate Events...

Here are some other books you might enjoy:

A House Called Awful End by Philip Ardagh
When eleven-year-old Eddie Dickens's ill parents become "a bit crinkly round the edges," he is taken by his great-uncle and great-aunt, Mad Uncle Jack and Mad Aunt Maude, and embarks on adventures that involve strolling actors, St. Horrid's Home for Grateful Orphans, and a carnival float shaped like a giant cow. This is the first of three books in the
series.

The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
When the Grace children go to stay at their Great Aunt Lucinda's worn Victorian house, they discover a field guide to fairies and other creatures and begin to have some unusual experiences. This is also the first in a series.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken
Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease. With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?

Thanks for your Book Match request. It sounds as though your daughter is interested in a wide range of genres. I'll try to recommend some things that are both similar to those that she has devoured and some others that might interest her as well. I hope she enjoys reading some of these books.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis-this series beginning with The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a classic that all should read!

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman is the first in a trilogy about a girl named Lyra Belacqua. Accompanied by her daemon (like her animal alter ego), she sets out to prevent her best friend and other kidnapped children from becoming the subject of gruesome experiments in the Far North.

With the 6th Harry Potter book scheduled to come out in June, you may want to encourage her to continue reading through that series.

The following are some suggestions of contemporary and historical fiction that she may like and might encourage her to have a renewed interest in the Little House books (if you want to steer her that way):

Ida B: And her plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly)
Save the World by Katherine Hannigan is about a precocious 4th grader who lives on her family's farm in Wisconsin. She spends happy hours being home-schooled and playing in her family's apple orchard, until her mother begins treatment for breast cancer and her parents must sell part of the orchard and send her to public school.

Heartbeat by Sharon Creech: 12-year-old Annie ponders the many rhythms of life the year that her mother becomes pregnant, her grandfather begins faltering, and her best friend (and running partner) becomes distant.

You may want to choose some titles by Katherine Paterson or Avi. Both write contemporary and historical fiction. They are the kind of writers that get readers involved from the beginning and keep their interest sparked until the end (and then some). Two of my favorites by Paterson are The Same Stuff as Stars and Lyddie. Avi's The True Confessions of
Charlotte Doyle and Crispin are hard to put down.

 

Enjoy! Lena

Here some titles I recommend to fans of The Series of Unfortunate Events

Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism by Georgia Byng
Unlucky and unloved, Molly Moon, living in a dreary orphanage in a small English town, discovers a hidden talent for hypnotism and hypnotizes her way to stardom in New York City.

Here are some other titles that you might enjoy if you like Heartbeat:

The Tale of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler
After finally convincing her mother that she should take swimming lessons, twelve-year-old Emily discovers a terrible and wonderful secret about herself that opens up a whole new world.

The City of Ember by Jeanne Du Prau
In the year 241, twelve-year-old Lina trades jobs on Assignment Day to be a Messenger to run to new places in her decaying but beloved city, perhaps even to glimpse Unknown Regions. There is a sequel, The People of Sparks.

Happy Reading!
