This is part of a series and it kind of broke my heart - but they're all good:

Maybe a bit too young for a 10 yo, esp if your child is a girl.

This is great but only for a good 10 yo reader... just deals with grief and tragedy in childhood well:

This too. I tried to read it but it broke my heart but it helped my son:

Edit: Mostly kids feel suddenly like things aren't as they should be and the fictionalized version of this in Young Adult (which is where 10 yos often are now, sadly) has a deep and awesome history going back to Judy Bloom.
