Q. I am doing this project for school, and need to make a 10-page book (with pictures)... and it's kid-friendly with an age group of about 6 to 10.
Do you have any ideas for my story?
ANY idea is great, so please don't hold back or be shy! =]

3rd graders have wide ranging abilities that range from low-level high interest books to Harry Potter.
In yur place I'd investigate a non-fiction topic. Something like animals (concentrate on one, like penguins or dophins or monkeys, etc or under-sea life or maybe some science concepts. They love
factual books with silly drawings. In our schools the 3rd graders have to do their first little research report, so you could do a how to book on that topic. "Robbie Reports on Rattlesnakes" or something. It would actually be a vey helpful book: many kids don't know where to begin. They know how to use computers, but they can't find the right info for their age level. At the back of the book you could put a couple of extra pages of websites for kids.

Books for a 3rd grader with very high reading level?

My mom wants me to find some books for my 3rd grader cousin. Now you would think "Ramona and Beezus" or even small books like, "Blueberries for Sal." But really, in second grade, she finished all the Harry Potter Series! She just finished a Wrinkle In Time... I mean, it's AMAZING!
But my mom wants her to read something developmentally her age. Like I said, Ramona and Beezus! But the problem that I think would happen is the books would be too easy to read for her.
Do you guys have ANY ideas for about "problems" young kids might endure but at the same time hard(ish) to read? Thanks!(:
Answer
I'm not sure what kind of books you're looking for exactly, but here are some books I enjoyed when I was around that age:
The Little House series, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Those were written to "grow" with a child, so the first book is good to be read to a Kindergartener to second grader, while the last book is Jr. High or High School level.
Peppermints in the Parlor - A mystery book. I didn't find the sequel (The Perils of Peppermints) to be as good.
Hatchet - I think I read this in 4th or 5th grade.
Possibly anything by Lois Lowry.
Roald Dahl's books.
The Great Brain books (it's a series) by John D. Fitzgerald.
Cheaper by the Dozen and Belles on their Toes by Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey
Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret Sidney
Island of the Blue Dolphins
The Secret of Nimh
Black Beauty
Older fairy tale books, possibly. The older, original, versions are written at a much higher reading level than modern picture books. Andrew Lang's "color" fairy books are good.
These are all what I'd consider to be 5th-7th grade reading level, so they're not hard-hard to read. But I'm an adult and I still enjoy reading them on occasion. But the subject matter should, I think, meet your mom's approval. I think I ever only read one Ramona book when I was that age; it was too stupid for me.
