The books gets progressively thicker as you go through the series. The
first one is 309 pages and the last is 759 pages.
I was attracted to the box set by the artwork.

Still don't know if *she* would like it though.
Got to figure something out by tomorrow.
I appreciate all the ideas & the help.

I've looked at a box set of Harry Potter books at Costco. I talked to
her dad (who is notoriously a NON-reader) & he says she's starting to
like books.
When she is starting to like books is the best time to get her a book. A
hungry fish takes the bate more readily and all.
I'm hesitating because I'm not sure that's a gift that would delight
her, and not just a gift that delights me (... at 10 I'd just discovered
the joys of Heinlein's juveniles & Asimov's "Lucky Star" ...).
You might very well be giving her a gift that will last a lifetime if you
get her to start reading books. Get her a couple of the Harry Potter books.
The full set might be a bit daunting if she is not a reader yet.
