I'm finishing up some last minute shopping and need to get some books for the nieces and nephews. Ages: 10 (boy), 7 (girl), 6 (boy), 4 (girl), 3 (girl)
The two oldest are into legos, transformers, ninja turtles 6 yr old is into super heroes the youngest are all about princesses
For the 4 year old girl, "Not All Princesses Dress in Pink" by Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple. For the 10 year old, Loki's Wolves by Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr( I know, but they're writing this series for their sons who are that age), Lisa McMann's Unwanteds series, or The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica by James Owen, or The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. Anything by Mo Willems is a good idea. For the three year old, the Chu series by Neil Gaiman and Adam Rex, Tea With Rex and Camping With Rex by Molly Idle would be good for either of the girls.

For the older kids - Lego Play or Lego Ideas book are great. My kids love looking through them.
My 8 year old and 6 year old are both really into the Secrets of Droon books right now. They both also loved Magic Treehouse and my daughter loved The Rainbow Fairies series.
My oldest (girl) loves graphic novels too. Fashion Kitty, Star Wars Academy, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, and Big Nate are all some of her favorites.
For the younger two - Pete the Cat, Don't Press the Button, The Book with no Pictures, Press Here, Pigeon Books, National Geographic First Big Book of...(there are a bunch of these and they're all great), Scaredy Squirrel, The Paperbag Princess, and Crafty Chloe
