I was thinking about the possibilities of activity books, or something like that - though looking for anything 'for kids' tends to be aimed at more like 4-8yo rather than 10yo? So I looked for 'middle grade' books (eg) -- and one of them was a Klutz book, which I remember having many of as a kid.
They're generally either some kind of arty or creative thing, or more sciencey - and a few like earthsearch that are Everything. I remember them as being extremely engaging and having heaps of activities - and generally involve learning too, which parents like. Could I do something like this, but based on activities to do when you're moving/in a new town?
Also had an idea about some kind of website/app which has activities and places to make friends for new kids in specific cities
