The Prydain series works on most levels but has a single flaw that makes it not work-- Scott and I have to be able to read the books out loud to Delia. Some of those names are beyond what we can easily manage. I suppose I should reread them and evaluate how bad the names are. I remember having trouble with them as a kid. It bothered me that I had no idea how they were supposed to sound.
I'll look into the Allie Finkel series. Delia didn't like Junie B. Jones, but that seems to have been based on her finding the titles of the books repulsive rather than based on her actually looking at the books.
Kat, Incorrigible and The Magic Thief might work for Delia. I've put them on the list.
