Books for 10-Year-Olds Who Love Adventure and Mystery

Ten-year-olds take on longer series and twistier plots, and they love books that make them laugh or keep them guessing. These are stories with a mystery to solve or a journey to go on: the kind that end with a child asking for one more chapter.
