I am a youth librarian at a public library and I also used to work in an elementary school library. These are the books that I have seen interest reluctant readers around the age of your niece:
Picture Books: Any of the Olivia books by Ian Falconer Any of the Lilly books by Kevin Henkes Very beginning chapter books: The Cam Jansen Series by David Adler The Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne The stories about Amber Brown in 1st & 2nd Grade by Paula Danziger And you might enjoy reading to her: The Ramona Series by Beverly Cleary or the Judy Moody books by Megan McDonald. You might also consider books on CD, especially if they have a full cast of readers. Good Luck.
