This isn't a classic, but the book The Thief of Always by Clive Barker is great! My mom read it to my brother and me when we were around that age and we loved it.0

The Count of Monte Christo
Ooooh, good one...and The Man in the Iron Mask and The Scarlett Pimpernel0 -
All of these are great, but I don't think I saw Grimm's fairy tales. They're great at any age.0

bump. My boys especially liked Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson series. My older liked the Fablehaven books; I tried reading the 1st one with my younger and thought it was awful. My 13-y-o read and loved the Hunger Games (don't think it's OK for the 10-y-o yet) and has started reading Ray Bradbury. He also liked a book (might be a series?) called 100 Cupboards.0

Some that I used to love that might also appeal to your boys are:
"The Chronicles of Narnia"
"The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings"
"A Series of Unfortunate Events"
"Crispin and the Cross of Lead" (and its sequels)
"Inkheart" series
"Warriors" series (go to warriorcats.com to find the correct order of the books, can be a bit tricky.)
"Guardians of Ga'hoole" series
Any of Eva Ibbotson's books
Any of Kate DiCamillo's books, especially "The Tale of Desperaux"
If they get in the mood for something a little spooky, a Goosebumps book by R. L. Stine is usually fun.
I know most of these aren't considered classics, but I always loved them so much!0
