I recently bought A Pinch of Magic by Michelle Harrison, and Pages & Co. - Tilly & the Bookwanderers by Anna James. They both went down really well with the 10 year old birthday girl.

My DD and all her friends seem to be reading The Ickabog at the moment (Yr5, 9-10year olds)

My 8yo DD is working her way through the Roman Mysteries boxset.

What Bargainchunter said, plus the Tiffany Aching series by Pratchett, Narnia, Warrior Cats, also one called the House at the edge of Magic which I think will be the first of a series.
