I'd suggest fast paced books with lots of illustrations. And I'm a huge fan of graphic novels. The books for age 9+ are terrific - well written and full of wisdom. Guts is about a girl who worries and learns to overcome it.

Smart by Kim Slater is a detective story with a difference. When a homeless man dies the police don't seem to care, but Kieran is convinced he was murdered. At home he has his mother's violent partner to contend with. Not an easy read, but a worthwhile one
