Book Recomendations

Hi, Hannah.  Here are some other recommendations from kids' lliterature:

         Susan Cooper, The Dark Is Rising series
          ~ Over Sea, Under Stone
          ~ The Dark Is Rising
          ~ Greenwitch
          ~ The Grey King
          ~ Silver on the Tree
These are set in Wales, a special place in my heart.

         Diane Duane, The Wizard Series
         ~ So You Want to be a Wizard
         ~ Deep Wizardry
         ~ High Wizardry
         ~ A Wizard Abroad
         ~ The Wizard's Dilemma 
         ~ A Wizard Alone
         ~ A Wizard on Vacation
The first six are out in paperback; the seventh is still in hardback.  I haven't 
read the seventh, but I think that's the correct title.  

       Monica Furlong
        ~ Wise Child
        ~ Juniper

And for sheer imagination, Clive Barker's Abarat is excellent.  It sounds as 
though there will be more than one book of Abarat, so someday it will be a 
series, but for now there's only one book.

The newest adventure I know of is Eregon, written by the 15-year old whose 
last name starts with "P."  I haven't read it, but the reviews are good and the 
map on the end papers is very detailed.

Enjoy!    Whimsy
