I've been desperately searching for books to read aloud to my 6 year old girl that we can both enjoy. Beverly Cleary's Ramona series didn't grab her. The Rainbow Fairies series did, but I put myself to sleep reading those aloud (boring!). The Glitterwings Academy series has been just what the doctor ordered. The books are well written and take my daughter along on the protagonist's emotional journey (which is what she loves about movies). In each Glitterwings Academy book, Twink deals with some aspect of growing up -- in Flying High she learns how to deal with not being able to do what comes easily to others in her class. For kids, it echoes what it is like being the only one struggling with reading. Or the only one not yet able to do a cartwheel in gymnastics. We've now read 4 of them, and my son (in kindergarten) is enjoying them, too! We read it on Kindle for iPad (the drawings come out better than on my Kindle), so it makes the reading that much more fun for the kids.
