The 50 Best Books Series for 9 and 10 year olds

Let's talk about reading at 9 or 10 years old. 

Children this age are, mostly, independent readers. They know what they enjoy reading and when they're into something they REALLY are. The tricky part? Figuring out just what that is! And to add fuel to the fire, there's a LOT of competing media in the mix, from video games to TV shows and social media. 

But no fear: we've rounded up our best reviewed and most-loved series for readers aged 9 and 10. We've got a mix of adventure, graphic novels, spellbinding fantasy and even what'll surely make you laugh. There's a book for every young reader in the list below. And the best news is: if you found a book you love, a whole series awaits with more from the same characters!
