This is an abridged version of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, translated into Japanese for kids. It's short (about 150 pages), the font size is gigantic, and almost all kanji have furigana (but as with most children's literature, there is not as much kanji as one might wish, so parsing long strings of hiragana can get a little tiresome).

I found this to be easy to read and enjoyable, but it is admittedly rather sappy, and I'm biased because I liked these kinds of books when I was growing up.

There's a surprising amount of world literature available translated into Japanese for kids, so if you like and are familiar with classic books like these, you may find them good material for beginner reading starting at upper N4.
