Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder

These have been around a long time but they still hold appeal. They are for strong readers mainly because of length and the descriptions.

Encyclopedia Brown by Sobol

These books are short chapter mysteries with the solutions at the end of the book. They range in difficulty from 3^rd to 5^th grade.

Mouse and the Motorcycle series by Beverly Cleary

These books appeal to 4^th graders but their reading level is 5^th or 6^th grade. I think they are readable by strong 4^th grade readers.
