   I wouldn't worry about "popular" because you   
   can usually spell that "pulp." With all the   
   excellent NON-fiction out there, written to read   
   as novels, I would direct a child's reading that way.   
      
   A 10-yr old, who is actually able to read   
   and comprehend what is read (a rarity perhaps),   
   can get a lot of excitement from non-fiction.   
   Here is but one example, although it's set   
   on the 'western frontier' at a time when that   
   frontier was the Atlantic seaboard:   
      
   LOVE AND HATE IN JAMESTOWN - John Smith,   
   Pocahontas, and the heart of a new nation.   
      
   by David A. Price, 2003   
      
   I know that sounds like a very boring title,   
   but the book is a fascinating account of   
   early American history, pre-Pilgrim days.   
   And there is plenty of violence related within   
   to hold the attention of most 10-yr olds, I suspect.
