I suggest The Cryptid Hunters. It was very engaging, has an orphaned brother-sister team who have to suddenly go live with their weird mad scientist/paleontologist/dinosaur-hunter uncle on his awesome private island with a mansion... There is a mystery and it's an exciting story.
The True Meaning of Smekday might also be good. It is somewhat less narratively complicated than Cryptid Hunters, and is about alien invasion and has a sort of Not-Disneyland theme to it. It's good but for someone who likes Stormbreaker I'd say Cryptid Hunters is a better fit (and not too disturbing for a 10 year old)
