Babysitters Club, Bailey Schools Kids, Wayside School (Louis Sachar, who did Holes but Holes is a little older) and especially Magic Tree House are all great series for early readers
Robert Munsch (I really like Paper Bag Princess) is also good for solo reading for early readers)
If they're strong readers and into fantasy, Deltora Quest series is a really great way for kids to get into epic fantasy, but it skews a little old for most 6 year old solo readers. Huge hit for the 8-10 crowd though
Same with Septimus Heap.
Roald Dahl was a bad dude, but Matilda and the BFG are still great books.
