The Hobbit was one of my favourites at that age. Also Goosebumps books, so many to choose from and so easy to get into the whole collection.

I loved Agatha Christie at that age, and my DS also found them entertaining.

Street Child by Berlie Doherty is a modern classic, and usually well received. There is a sequel, about Street Child's siblings, but I haven't read it and can't remember what it is called!

Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones. And her other books!

Books by Eva Ibbotson. Check intended age range first.

Lemony Snicket books if not read already!

Percy Jackson series.
