Hi all, I'm working on a novel for 9-12 year olds in the supernatural/adventure genre and I was wondering if anyone can recommend any books for me to read for my research?

When I was 9-12 years old I used to read Deltora Quest books.
I highly recommend the Witch or Ghost books by Eva Ibbotson.
Below is a selection of her books. I hope that helps.
Children's fiction
The Great Ghost Rescue (1975)
Which Witch? (1979)
The Worm & the Toffee Nosed Princess (1983)
The Haunting of Hiram C. Hopgood (1987)
Not Just a Witch (1989)
The Secret of Platform 13 (1994)
Dial-a-Ghost (1996)
Monster Mission (1999)
Island of the Aunts (2000 - a re-titling of Monster Mission)
Journey to the River Sea (2001)
The Haunting of Granite Falls (2004 - a re-titling of The Haunting of Hiram C. Hopgood)
The Star of Kazan (2004)
The Beasts of Clawstone Castle (2005)
The Haunting of Hiram (2008)
The Dragonfly Pool (2008)
The Ogre of Oglefort (2010)
One Dog and his Boy (2010)
The Spiderwick Chronicles. They ruined it with the awful film. I partially love it because of the beautiful illustrations. There are 5 of them.
Hope I can help!
