Dean Forrester comes to mind. He's got some good young child sci-fi. A boy and his snake. I myself loved Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Song, Singer, Drums trilogy.

I find that my enjoyment in books (and movies) is proportional to how far removed from reality we get. Sure phrase to lose my interest is "based on real life."
