The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh
3.0
I don't see many SF books aimed at this age group.
ADULT-ISH VERDICT: 2.85 stars, bumped to 3. Pretty good. If I'd read this as a 10-year-old, I'd probably have given it 4 stars.
Or 2 stars if you are an adult who nitpicks science and logic in books for 10-year olds.
An adult teacher-friend who never reads SciFi actually read my copy (I'd given it to her to pass on to a student), and she said it was surprisingly good. She'd recommend it to younger readers as an imaginative tale, and she liked the young protagonist
