This isn't necessarily literature or anything, but I bought my younger sis The Daring Book for Girls for Xmas a couple years back. She was around 9 or 10 then (I'm ~12 years her senior) and she liked it. There's a ton of really neat activities and projects in there (e.g. standard stuff like hopscotch and jump-roping to more "mature" things like hiking and science experiments and yoga), as well as lots of information on important women throughout history (e.g. a section entitled "Queens of the Ancient World," an excerpt on Joan of Arc, female Olympians, etc) and just overall a ton of really neat potpourri that's doesn't come off in the slightest as patronizing or anything like that. Plus I'm pretty sure it suggests books/literature for young XX minds to read or at least consider. I'd suggest you at least thumb through it at a bookstore or on Amazon. Hope that helps a little!
stealth edit: There also appears to be a Part II (Double-Daring...) if Part I seems like a good idea.
It took me over a year to get pretty consistent with it.
Oddly, one of the best descriptions I ever got of the mechanics was from "The Daring Book for Girls"

But piles of trial and error were probably what did it.
There's a section about planting this way in The Daring Book for Girls
I have this!
