This is a continuation of my blog post from last week. There were just so many suggestions that I couldn't fit them all into one post. The person was seeking books for a 9 year old boy with an extensive reading history of fantasy.
Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland
Tombquest by Michael Northrop
The Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris D'Lacey
Pendragon by D.J. MacHale
The Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
Leviathan by Scott Westerfield
Bone by Jeff Smith (Graphic Novel)
The last two suggestions are normally found in the teen section, but keep in mind that the teen section covers from 12/13 years of age to 18. These books can be handled by those who have read through Harry Potter as it is pretty dark by the end.
Protector of the Small by Tamora Pierce (or if that doesn't appeal, try one of her others)
The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black
Magisterium by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare
Any book by Diana Wynne Jones. I liked Howl's Moving Castle.
Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede (See my review for Dealing with Dragons to get a good feel for the series)
TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow
Earth Sea Cycle by Ursula K. Leguin
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander
The Blood Guard by Carter Roy (more forthcoming?)
Seven Wonders by Peter Lerangis
The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
Beyonders Trilogy by Brandon Mull
Brian's Saga (Hatchet) by Gary Paulsen
Arthur Trilogy by Kevin Crossley-Holland
Of course, once everyone submitted their suggestions, my mind kept chugging away and came up with one more suggestion. The first book of the Tales of Alderley series, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen is an excellent fantasy/adventure story set in Wales. I haven't gotten around to reading the other two books in the trilogy, but I'm sure they're just as good!
I hope that those of you who are Percy Jackson fans found some great reading suggestions. Please comment below if you have further suggestions or how how you liked on the books suggested in the post.
