I really enjoyed the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. A medieval society of mice and other woodland creatures, to an extent felt like something a Victorian era British family would read their kids to make them want to be cavalrymen.

Treasure Island and Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Schools these days are trying to dumb children down as much as possible. Those two books should probably be read by children (boys) at the ages 7-11.
