One great aspect of Hermione and Young Tom Riddle fanfiction is the exploration of what could have been. Hermione's intelligence could potentially have an impact on Tom Riddle's early development. Maybe she could have seen the signs of his future dark path earlier and tried to steer him away.
Well, without actually reading the 'the tom swift megapack 25 complete novels', it's a bit hard to say for sure. But if they follow the pattern of classic Tom Swift stories, they usually have positive values like curiosity, problem - solving, and courage.

One possibility is that Harry, having seen the dark path Tom Riddle took, decides to take him in early. He might teach Tom about love and friendship, things he lacked growing up.

Sorry, I don't have a specific 'anti tom novel' to recommend for young readers right away. It really depends on what the 'anti tom' concept implies in the story. If it's about standing up to a mean character, there might be some books in the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' series that have elements of a protagonist dealing with a bully - like character which could be considered in a way 'anti' that negative behavior.
One challenge is staying true to the characters' personalities. Tom Riddle is already on a dark path as a young boy, so it's difficult to balance his malevolent tendencies with any potential for change or redemption in the fanfiction. For Harry, his natural instinct to oppose evil has to be reconciled with the idea of trying to help Tom.
