Captivating for an eight year old

My eight year old daughter found these books in the middle of second grade. The reading level is about a 40DPR, or second grade in most places. Though a good reader moves through them quickly (maybe 45 minutes for the whole book) she loves them. She enjoys the mysteries and relates to the characters. This year she tried the "real" Nancy Drew books, but could not connect to a character who is in highschool and has boyfriends. The Nancy Drew notebooks are written about an eight year old Nancy whose mysteries that take place at slumber parties and dance class. Just the thing to captivate a young girl.
