The 50 Best Books for
9- and 10-Year-Olds

by Melissa Taylor

As kids hit 9 and 10 they’re experiencing many physical, emotional, and mental changes. It’s an exciting time for them, and an exciting time in their reading life too. With increased attention spans and logical thinking skills, kids this age are able to read harder books for longer amounts of time.

Since children this age are also placing a greater value on independence, they may be more interested in choosing books for themselves. Let them read through this list of expert recommendations for the 50 best books for 9- and 10- year-olds and select one (or 10) books to read.

Of course, you know your child best. So if you see a book that would be a good fit with his or her interests, buy it or borrow it and give it to your child. The more books, the more reading!
