I am not as familiar with this genre for children.
For early elementary students, The Magic Tree House books by Mary Pope Osborne are wonderful historical fiction books. Her topics range from the middle ages to the Titanic.
For upper elementary, a fifth grade class recommended Inkspell and Inkheart by Cornelia Funke and Crispin by Avi to me. I think the recommendation of a target audience is golden!
The fifth graders I was working with had a hard time finding interesting books at the library, I asked each student to submit one or two recommendations along with a one sentence description of the book. I compiled all the recommendations into one classroom list. The kids love it! I'm not sure if any recommendations were sought, but I think if someone is truly stuck as to what to read the next time they are at the library, they have 26 fifth grader approved books to chose from.
