I'd have no qualms about giving HeroQuest to *my* 10-year-old, but illos like the Esrolia Homeland make it harder to give to someone else's. Like always, it really depends on the kid.
I also think 288 pages is too thick for most people. Hero's Book is better, but sadly it's not complete enough to play from (it doesn't contain keywords).

The closest I've seen was Prince Valiant. I agree that HQ is a fine game for kids, but it's designed for an adult audience.
