My brother recently asked on Facebook for a list of recommendations for his 6-year-old daughter:"She can read at the level of an 8- or 9-year-old, but would prefer thematic content that's more suitable for a 6-year-old," he wrote in asking for suggestions. "I'd also love for her to read stories that feature strong female protagonists. Double plus bonus for sci-fi!"

Here are 8 books for girls that feature strong female role models. -By Buzz Bishop
