Recommend some YA books for an advanced 7 y/o reader
Could you guys recommend some good young adult books that might keep her occupied for a little while longer? She loves spooky stuff and is into reading the Goosebumps books

Or maybe Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series or Harry Potter?
Also, Katherine Arden has a new children's series. It begins with Small Places (which is super-fun spooky, similar to Goosbumps).
As for actual YA...
Eeep...most I can think of have a pretty heavy romance aspect.
Ready Player One might work.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Harry Potter
Unicorns of Balinor (can be difficult to find these days but WORTH IT)
DragonLance: The New Adventures. (Starts with the Dragon Well). It blends fantasy and action/adventure.
Have you tried getting her into some Tamora Pierce novels? She has some great YA series. I would start her out with something like Terrier or The Lady Alanna series of books. My favorite was the Immortal Series with Wild Magic being the first one. The problem is that one touches on some more mature subjects on the last book of that series.
Circle Series by Ted Dekker. If she likes spooky you can send her towards Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. They are Christian authors so clean books. Scary.

Have you tried the Fairy Oak trilogy? They are really good too.

Septimus Heap by Angie Sage (I don't remember it being too violent. If it ever does it thankfully doesn't go into detail).
There is The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott, but those are more advanced (there's a lot of things like aura, gods from various cultures, known historical figures...). I don't remember it being too violent, but it's been a while since I read the series.

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is YA, but Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book is also a good one. It's a retelling of The Jungle Book but in a graveyard.

Descendant by Toni Kerr might also be a fun one. It's the first in a series. believe there's three or four books in the series. It has magical creatures, dragonborn and fairies and secret societies and would fall into the same category as Harry Potter or Percy Jackson.

"Ranger's Apprentice" series by John Flanagan: Action/fantasy. Some great fight scenes (not sure about ya part, but might pique their interest)
"Lockwood & Co" series by Jonathan Stroud: Horror, i guess. Not particularly scary, but the story was interesting. Ghosts.
"An Ember in the Ashes" by Sabaa Tahir: A beautiful historical fantasy. Some romance elements.
"School for Good and Evil" by Soman Chainani: Fairy tale like fantasy. No scary elements whatsoever.
"The Prisoner of Cell 25" by Richard Paul Evans: A great sci-fi.
"Bone" (written by Jeff Smith): Really entertaining comic book. Filled with adventure, fantasy, horror, comedy all in one (I remember it being suitable for all ages).
