That must be fun, having your mom read you a book SHE wrote!
Watership Down would be a good one; my daughter recently finished reading it. Right now we're reading Mary Norton's classic Bedknob and Broomstick. (She's such a nitpicker, though; she keeps saying, "Why couldn't they have done the movie like that?" I tell her, "Because it was made by Disney, dear.")
We also enjoyed The Amulet of Samarkand. Plus she's very into Cornelia Funke right now (The Thief Lord and Inkheart). She also goes through historical fiction like a hot knife through butter. I think she's probably old enough to handle The Witch of Blackbird Pond now (one of my faves when I was a kid). We're almost done the Norton, so after that we'll have another choice to make...
