9. Amelia Rules!
Amelia Rules is a comic that I rarely see talked about which is a shame.
The series revolves around Amelia McBride, a 5th grader who's had to move to a new town with her mom after her parents divorce. What ensues is a long series of trials, tribulations, personal strife, and kids dressed up like superheroes wailing on each other. The series is more young adult than for young kids but as a series to be read by kids growing up, you could do infinitely worse.
Amelia and her friends are wonderful characters, from main ones like Reggie AKA Captain Amazing to the less main like Ninja Kyle. Again, I must stress that none of these books are fantasy or sci-fi, they're coming of age drama/comedy, with the ratio balancing out depending on the story. But as a way to introduce kids to ideas of death and divorce and adult relationships, it's a great one. It's a series that doesn't talk down to kids but also has enough humor and levity to couch the serious issues in.
These are great young adult fiction that any adult should also be able to enjoy and are all anchored by some very honest and earnest emotions.
