If you look as young as 10, you could also play the title role in "Oliver!"

Any of the kid characters in Spelling Bee, the brother in Birdie, pugsley in Addams Family, many roles in 13, Michael or Billy in Billy Elliot (depending on your dance skills) many roles
in School of Rock ( especially if you play an instrument), a Knight of Ni in Spamalot, Jojo or who in Seussical

If you are a tenor that suggests that your voice has changed so roles like Oliver Twist or Young Patrick of Billy Elliot would not work for you. There is an awkward period in a young actor's age where they are very hard to cast. Too old to play a child but too young to play an adult. I would think that Scut Farkus in A CHRISTMAS STORY would work for you. Dodger in OLIVER! would also be a good role though again, it is a hard role to sing if your voice has changed (though I have seen adults around 18 or 19 play the role, just not very successfully).
