Which books did you read when you were 10

Some that I can recall:

Madeline L'Engle's "Wrinkle in Time"
The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings
Escape from Witch Mountain
A Spell for Chameleon
Pippi Longstocking
Zelazny's Amber books.

Might I suggest some of the Grim brother's fairy tales

I think I read Stevenson at that age, but it was in French translation, not sure how difficult the original English would be for a child.

I read The Hobbit by Tolkien and The Prince and the Pauper by Twain in the original English as a child, and don't remember having difficulty with either.

In a more girly mode, L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables seems to have had lasting appeal.

Edit: Since you're in Denmark I'm going to assume there's no use recommending the literary fairy tales of Anderson, Wilde's short collection of fairy tales is equally enchanting and I'll second that recommendation.

I used to love these books, along with the alliterative Alfred Hitchcock mystery series for young adults, such as Spellbinders in Suspense, Daring Detectives, Haunted Houseful & Monster Museum.

Just educational books in school & holy quran

I read books like Redwall, Harry Potter, and plenty of fantasy and comic books.
I was 10 about 7 years ago, so a lot of kid's fiction was written. It was a lot different then, unlike the earlier times, where kid's fiction wasn't as separate a market.

"The Witches" and "Charlie and the chocolate factory" by Roald Dahl. Also books by Astrid Lindgren.

Goosebump books and other contemporary novels. Maybe a few Stephen King books as well.

The Redwall series
Greek myths and legends (possibly abridged, though I don't recall exactly)
Goosebumps
The Chronicles of Narnia
Grimm's Fairy Tales

And then of course any sort of pre teen type novel I happened to stumble upon.
