Looking for recommendations - Kid/YA

[dreamshark]

One of my colleagues is looking for recommendations for books for her precocious 8-year-old daughter. My friend is Chinese, so she isn't familiar with classic American children's literature and would like some suggestions.  The little girl recently discovered "Wrinkle in Time" and couldn't put it down, and Liling is looking for more science fiction books that will keep her reading voraciously.  Any ideas?

I was also going to suggest the library website. Depending on what mood the girl is in, there's thirty-three oodles of recommendations for each whim.
