Read-alike Fiction for Ages 9-12

Sometimes when you've just finished reading a good book you're desperate to find something just as great.  
That's when read-alikes come in handy.  Read-alikes are suggestions for readers who enjoy the works of a particular author and would like to have recommendations of other authors that write in a similar style or genre.  
Here's a few suggestions and don't forget to ask your librarian for more titles!
If you like...
Ivy and Bean by Anne Barrows try Friends for Keeps by Julie Bowe
(True BFFs in funny and upbeat stories)
Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan try Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman
(Action-packed fantasy and mythology)
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney try Timmy Failure by Stephen Pastis
(Humorous stories of middle school kids facing challenges of school, home and friends)
The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau try The Roar by Emma Clayton
(Fast-paced survival stories set in troubled future worlds)
