Would the Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander be too scary? I loved them to bits, but I do remember being scared by the (old, Dell Yearling) covers at the time. I didn't like sleeping in the same room as them unless they were shelved properly, because as we all know, covers can't come alive if they are sandwiched between other books.
The Allie Finkel series by Meg Cabot is charming, and sort of "next up from Junie B Jones."
Two more recent books--Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis is fun, and so is The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas.
