List of Books for Children in 2010

As I was searching for books to get my children, I found great collection for the best of 2010 in "Parents" magazine. Some of them are in series like a "Magic Tree House" books, but most of them are just new and amazing. This book list is for ages 5 to 10 years and every kid would be happy to have them on the shelves.
So here the list that I came up:
