If you prefer to have separate files for each book you can get most classic literature for free at gutenberg.org
Let's start with she's reading. Yeah!!. If you never get anywhere else, there's always the potential for her to get there on her own as long as she keeps it up.

What type of mindless reading tends to get the best response?

As a stab in the dark, I'd say science fiction encompasses everything: math, science, vocabulary, creative imagination, social commentary, etc.

EDIT - belatedly it occurred to me that it depends on where she lives, too. Banned books are actually a thing in our world now. The unintended consequence here may be a lesson in rebellion or conformity.

And I cannot begin to tell you how very sad it makes me to feel the need to point this out.
Here you go: https://pen.org/index-of-school-book-bans-2022/

There's over 800 of them and it increased since last year.

Quote from KayOttik :
Those schools don't exist in a bubble. Those bans are the result of the prevalent attitude of the local community.

Parents may ostensibly be within their rights to control their children's reading material. But given the type of environment, there is a greater likelihood that somebody somewhere is going to feel some kind of way about something. One way & the other.

The idea that a lively, open-minded scholastic debate would then ensue may be a little less likely than what may politely be referred to as blowback.

As far as it goes, the kids also have a right to explore on their own. When my kid (inevitably) shares what they're reading with your kid... ? More incendiary potential there as well.

So, my cautionary edit. Realistically, it may not be as simple as just handing a kid a book.
Somehow I doubt you have the slightest reservation about imposing your own perspectives through similar soft pressure when you have the opportunity.

"Imposing"? No. You do you. We don't always have to agree.

But I will say this. I'm old enough that I'm no stranger to book bans. I & most of my friends can list a whole slew of (today's) classic literature which we read as kids specifically because it was forbidden .

And that was, as I like to refer to it, BC. Before computers, we had to get our hands on an actual, physical book, read it & share it around.

People are deliberately blinding themselves to the graphic forms of sex & violence kids are fully immersed in in the current culture. Meanwhile they're heralding their awesome parenting with an issue that's been archaic for the past 30-40 years or more.
