I think most of the books on this page: http://www.starscapebooks.com/ would be appropriate. I have only read about 8 of them, but they were all ranging from "very good" to "stellar" in quality. The taste of whoever is choosing these books [1] seems to be spot-on for stories that have an all-ages appeal. By the way, Starscape books is an imprint of Tor Publishing, who also bring us the books by that Hungarian guy who occasionaly posts here. [2] [1] All of the ones that I read were actually published elsewhere; the current editions are reprints. [2] Some of the authors are friends of this guy, too. There's an in-joke in one of the books ["Magician's Ward"], where some books in a library were pulled out by a would-be thief. One of them was "Apres Cinq Cent Ans".
