[HPFGU-OTChatter] Other books like the Harry Potter series books?

[Sherry Gomes]

 [Stephanie]:
| Just wondering since this wonderful series is over in both books and 
| movies is there another series like this or has magic in that I might 
| like to check out? OR any books that I might could check out 
| and see what I like?

Sherry now:

I love the Mysterious Benedict Society books by Trenton Lee Stewart.  I
don't think they are magic exactly, but the kids are kind of magical in
wonderfully unique ways.  
There are adorable and quirky characters and a dangerous quest.  I've never
read anything quite like them.

There's also the Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper.  Myth and Magic
collide with the modern world.

Also the Percy Jackson stories by Rick Rierodan.  

Enjoy.  You're sure getting lots of great suggestions and I'm going to be
checking some of them out too.
