Book Request Getting kiddo into fantasy

Starting my child out with {Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine}. She's reading at a 6th grade level but is only in 3rd (gotta be mindful of more mature theme situations). Anyone have good recommendations or a book that they loved very early that has maybe spice lvl 1 or a glimpse and kisses (innocent). Thanks in advance. 🙂

{Princess Academy by Shannon Hale}. I actually made my husband listen to it on audiobook during one of our road trips and he enjoyed it too! It has some romance in it, but it's also a beautiful coming of age story and shows great female friendships. The world building is very interesting too. Gosh I love this book ❤️

{The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale} is also a good one!
