I feel like I am repeating myself but I can’t help it. Before you explore this list, check out the previous age categories first because those lists contain a lot of books for this age group but perhaps they could be enjoyed by a 10- or 11-year-old already so the book is there and not here.

Ender’s Game Kids read the The Ender Quintet series at the age of 10 but there is a lot of violence in this militaristic story so I think this age is probably more appropriate for it. Some websites recommend it for ages 13 or 14. My son read it when he finished 5th grade, my daughter at the end of 7th.

Six of Crows Check out the sequel here. You can read it before you read Shadow and Bone (trilogy) although it contains some spoilers. Generally, most people liked Six of Crows better than Shadow and Bone but both are very good. Some people read just Six of Crows.
