I've got my 11 year old on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at the moment, he read War of the Worlds before that
He has also devoured the Skulduggery Pleasant series and the Alex Rider series if you want something a bit more contemporary
-
I read and loved Swallows and Amazons at that age
-
Treasure Island.
-
Jules Verne! I read ‘20000 Leagues…’* as an adult and was amazed at how overlong and boring Verne can be OMG JUST GET ON WITH IT.
(*originally serialised, so maybe he was paid per word)

The Borribles Trilogy is one (well three) I read whilst young that really stuck with me.

You may already have had these recommended but;
The Kin - Peter Dickinson
Northern Lights - Phillip Pullman
Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransom
The Garth Nix books - Lirael
Hitchikers Guide
Artemis Fowl - Eoin ColferIm sure there are loads more that will come to mind, but I loved these or enjoyed sharing them with younger cousins.

Any suggestions for books for my 10 year old nephew?
As he has been growing up I have tried to supply him with the classics. Moomin when he was very young, Jules Verne when he was 7-8, etc.
But not quite sure what's exciting for a budding tween?
