When I was 8 or 9, an aunt gave me about a dozen of the blue-back Nancy Drew mysteries that someone had given her as a girl. I've been thrilled with girl detectives ever since.
Some personal favorites are Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart series and Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series, which recently came to a satisfying conclusion. Laurie R. King's series for adults about Sherlock Holmes and his young apprentice Mary Russell is one I would have devoured as a teen (and did devour as an adult). I imagine she gets lots of young readers.
I look forward to reading about others' favorites.
