Re: suggestions?

An absolutely cracking YA trilogy is the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud:

- The Amulet of Samarkand
- The Golems Eye
- Ptolemy's Gate

It's always the one mentioned when people ask about good YA books, and it is definitely worth checking out.

Another, is The Wardstone Chronicles by Joe Delany:

- Spooks Apprentice
- Spooks Curse
- Spooks Secret

The fourth book is being released this year, if it hasn't already been.

Let's see.... there's Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, and both of Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider, and Power of Five series. Erm... oh yes! Garth Nix! You can't go wrong with Garth Nix - two series: one that is currently being written, called The Keys to the Kingdom, and a trilogy that has been out for a few years, consisting of, in this order, Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

Those should keep you busy for a while.

I wrote on your other post a few suggestions. One more comes to mind, The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper. The first book is Over Sea, Under Stone.

Ever read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials?

The Three Books

The Golden Compass
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spyglass

There is a movie that is supposed to be out in December, based on the first one.

Re: suggestions?

Sherwood Smith has written some good fantasies. Try Crown Duel (the latest version which contains the books Crown Duel and Court Duel).
