For Dani you can very easily just start with her first appearance in Marvel Graphic Novel: The New Mutants and pick up with New Mutants #1 and just start reading. If you want to skip straight to the Dani-centric stuff (or have seen the New Mutants movie) you can read the Demon Bear Saga starting with issue #18. After that you can jump to New Mutants Vol. 3 by Zeb Wells as Dani plays a major role in that, and it takes place after she lost her powers following House of M which gives an interesting layer to her character. As of writing the limited series Moonstar: Edge of Doubt by Ashley Allen and Eduardo Audino has just finished up and is a really fun time if you want a quicker read!
As always feel free to add your own suggestions and give recommendations for how to improve the blog! I'm planning on making a big X-Men reading guide soon for this blog soon which will give more general jumping on points for the franchise ^^
