The ones I'm recommending? Oh yes, definitely. Dunno what the statistics are for Sonic fanfics in general, though.
They're both fics written by
K. M. Hollar, also known as
NetRaptor.
The Epic Adventure:

They're basically novelizations of Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, respectively. I thought the author really managed to capture the tone and impact of the games, and is very skilled in bringing the characters to life, as well as explaining or reconciling inconsistencies in the source material. There are a lot of smaller fanfics by the same author, too, if these are liked.
You might also want to point your kid in
this direction; TVTropes keeps fanfic recommendation archives, including one for Sonic. Their motto is
proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for (in reference to Sturgeon's law, which states that 90% of everything is crap and which is often applied to fanfics).
