Book author recommendation for a 7yr old

[Anonymous]

My 7yr old DD is about to finish reading the appro 15 or so Roald Dahl books (Charlie & Choco factory, Matilda, Fantastic Mr. Fox, BFG etc) and wanted to introduce her to authors with similar or a notch higher level of language maturity/complexity. Any recommendations? Preferably an author who's written many books so we don't have to go author-hunting again soon. She reads approx 100 pages pr day during the summer school break.

Has she done the Little House on the Prairie books?

Daniel Pinkwater is sort of in a similar vein to Dahl-- interesting, semi-fantastical fiction, and I think he has a ton of books.

Maybe the Rick Riordan books (like Percy Jackson and 39 Clues)?

MY absolute favorite. FYI: The recommended age is 8-12. However, I just bought the series for my 7 year old niece, and we read it together.
The students in my class are HOOKED to this series! It would make a great a movie(s!)
