@ZachWeinersmith - at that age I was wildly into Robin Hood stories (I had a version published in the 1930s) and Mary Renault's retelling of the Theseus myth (the King Must Die), but it miiiight be a bit spicy and should probably be parent-vetted first (I was reading some decidedly age-inappropriate things in the 9-14 years; I was 10 when I first read an annotated Hamlet, though the sex jokes definitely went flying over my head). But there's always classics like The Last Unicorn and The Hobbit!
