Chrysalis Academy Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Help me pull together a list of the greatest fantasy books for children - stand-alones, or series. I'm not looking for really sciency sci fi here, but really fantasy. ETA: adding great suggestions from the Hive, thanks all! Some may not like my sorting into "classic" and contemporary, but it's my thread so I get to sort them how I like! Feel free to make arguments for or against, though. I get that my classic/contemporary cutoff is sorta fuzzy. Did I unconsciously sort them by before/after I was born?

BatmansWife Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Well, the book we are reading aloud right now I would consider fantasy.

Soror Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 My son loves fantasy books so I'll be watching with interest. One series we enjoyed as a family was Dragon Rider by Funke iirc. Don't HP and Percy Jackson belong on this list as well, or are we just looking for classics? We've read most of those listed so far but I cannot think of anything new to add off the top of my head.

We've read most of those listed so far. You're right, of course! Harry Potter is so in my face I didn't even think of it - despite the fact that Shannon has reread the entire series about 4 times this year! And we haven't gotten into Percy Jackson yet, though I bet she will want to read the series when we do greek mythology again. I'm not specifically trying to exclude modern books - I guess I want those that are classic, or those modern stories that you predict will become classics, they're that good.

Kidlit Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Andrew Peterson's On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness (& following books--Wingfeather Saga--so my eldest dd tells me) is very good: http://www.hopeisthewordblog.com/2011/11/11/on-the-edge-of-the-dark-sea-of-darkness-by-andrew-peterson/ We just read The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander and LOVED it: http://www.hopeisthewordblog.com/2014/01/28/the-book-of-three-by-lloyd-alexander/ The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic by Trafton is a good one, especially for younger kids: http://www.hopeisthewordblog.com/2011/05/03/the-rise-and-fall-of-mount-majestic-by-jennifer-trafton/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What about The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and the Curdie by George MacDonald. I never read them when I was young, but a friend recommended them to me a year or so ago. It is so good. ETA: Just saw them on your list!! Oops! The Wind in the Willows?? I didn't consider it fantasy when I read it but maybe?? Ellie--so agree on the Rescuers. The book is SO much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Following this! I am a big fantasy-fiction nerd & I'm training my kids up in my footsteps. :p I started a thread on the General Ed board for books on Dragons (so many things on that list might fit this). Momo - Michael Ende What about the Dr. Dolittle books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Ellie--so agree on the Rescuers. The book is SO much better *All* of the books are so much better! For those who don't know, there are eight books: The Rescuers (1959) Miss Bianca (1962) The Turret (1963) Miss Bianca in the Salt Mines (1966) Miss Bianca in the Orient (1970) Miss Bianca in the Antarctic (1971) Miss Bianca and the Bridesmaid (1972) Bernard the Brave (1977) Bernard into Battle (1978) They're out of print (although someone here said she saw them on Amazon?) and not easy to find, but they're worth at least a little searching.

crazyforlatin Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Finally a list that has Pratchett, so I'll have to add another one of his quirky series, The Bromeliad Trilogy. Okay, I got to add The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Pratchett. It's still part of the Discworld series for children. Summerland by Michael Chabon The Last Dragonslayer and The Song of the Quarkbeast by Jasper Fforde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisoncooks Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The Last Dragonslayer and The Song of the Quarkbeast by Jasper Fforde. These were quirky but good. I definitely preferred book 2 (Quarkbeast) to book 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 You definitely need Children of Green Knowe on there. I'm not a fan of Enchantress to the Stars but I can see a case for that one... I would maybe put the Andrew Lang fairy books on there too. And The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber. That's a must, IMO. I would not include the Dragonriders of Pern. I don't think they're for kids. I don't think they're really classics. It's a series that suffers from sloppy writing as it went on, sadly, and I think that devalues a series. I do think the Harper Hall trilogy is good for kids, but there's even a (very mild) s*x scene in the third one of that too. Otherwise, good list, though I've never heard of that Land Snerg book. Huh. I would also lobby for including the following... The Overland Chronicles The Hero and the Crown The Thief The Crestomanci Chronicles... or SOMETHING by Diana Wynne Jones. A list like this would not be complete without something. Howl's Moving Castle perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Wait, and I just realized Half Magic isn't on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes, anything Robin McKinley is wonderful. I just read The Apothecary (and its sequel, The Apprentice) by Maile Meloy and they were great. (Post WW2 London, youngish characters.) Also Patricia Wrede's Frontier Magic trilogy was a great read (alternative history, wild west meets magic)... but it's probably for an older audience (preteens?). And if we're going into teen/YA stuff, I quite liked Westerfeld's Leviathon/Goliath/Behemoth trilogy. Steampunk WW1...fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Wait, and I just realized Half Magic isn't on there! LOL, I was just looking through ds' books looking for ideas to add and I saw Half Magic but I thought I seen it on the list so I didn't add it, ds LOVED it. I've got to write some of these down so I don't forgot them when I go to the library. Right now ds' is enamored with The Mysterious Benedict Society but there are so many great suggestions here to keep us busy for a good while after he makes it through those. We loved Howl's Moving Castle so I've wanted to read the book but I never remember- so I just put it on hold- maybe we'll do it as a family read aloud. I always forget about the Overland Chronicles, I read some of that myself and enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Most of the fantasy we love are on your list. Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle (the dragon books) would be a good addition. We love Enid Blyton books. For older teens the Conan the Barbarian books (Robert E Howard) are good. I read most of them as a teen. Any of Neil Gaiman's books, but especially Stardust...bonus points for reading the graphic novel. Peter Pan The Little Prince Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (basic fantasy genre stuff there...I read them in middle school). Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I know you didn't want science, but since Wrinkle in Time is listed.... ;) ) Watership Down Redwall The Spiderwick Chronicles Pinnochio Series of Unfortunate Events Ella Enchanted (and others by Gail Carson Levine) Certain Roald Dahl books The Odyssey and The Iliad ( certain kid's adaptations for younger ones) I'd put reading any Shakespeare adaptation in here (Lamb or Nesbit) Jules Verne of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msk Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I loved the Hero and the Crown in middle school, too. The Children of Green Knowe and its sequels were favorties of mine as a kid and have been a big hit with my 8yo. That series is from the 50s and the language used to describe some of the characters (especially non-white characters) is different from what we'd use now, so it might not hurt to skim ahead if you're sensitive to language that sounds a little "off" by normal standards today. It's funny to see people mention The Rescuers. My daughter really enjoyed them too, but was completely flummoxed by the concept of a "Ladies' Auxilliary" to the mouse Rescue Aid Society. When I explained the concept she just stared at me as though I'd grown an extra head or something. The idea of boarding school common in some of these books was also bizarre to her. I guess these are extra bits of knowledge we pick up from "classics." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingCat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles Where the Mountain Meets the Moon and Starry River of the Sky The Grimm Legacy (and followup The Wells Bequest) Jessica Day George's Tuesdays at the Castle (although can't recommend the 2nd book Wednesdays because it stopped in the middle and no sign of 3rd book yet ) She also has a Dragon series (Dragon Slippers, Dragon Spear) - I didn't like that one as much myself, but it is in the read aloud pile in case DD is interested I would call Dracula and Frankenstein for teens myself. (eta- actually I would rate some of the others on the list for teens as well - like the Earthsea trilogy but others I would rate more for younger kids - like Gregor or the JDG Dragon series I list above) For teens, Jessica Day George 12 Dancing Princess series is enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigs Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes, anything Robin McKinley is wonderful.… No no no. Deerskin by Robin McKinley is not wonderful and is not not not for children. The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown, however are simply wonderful. I'm not familiar enough with her other books to say one way or the other.

alisoncooks Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 No no no. Deerskin by Robin McKinley is not wonderful and is not not not for children. The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown, however are simply wonderful. I'm not familiar enough with her other books to say one way or the other. That is true -- I'd forgotten about that one. Deerskin can be disturbing (more of an adult-themed book, for sure)... and while it's hard to read, I don't dislike it. But I would NEVER read it to a child. And now that I'm thinking on it, McKinley does have some inappropriate-for-young-readers work. I would not recommend the vampire book (Sunshine). But: Beauty, Rose Daughter, Blue Sword, Hero & the Crown, Spindle's End, The Door in the Hedge, A Knot in the Grain & Other Stories, Outlaws of Sherwood... all good. The Stone Fey, for all that it looks like a child's picture book... is not a book for a child, IMO. It's a very confusing mix: an adult story wrapped in a picture book. Chalice was fairly good... it's somewhat of another Beauty & the Beast retelling... I never read Dragonhaven. The book she co-wrote with her husband was "meh" (Fire: Tales of Elemental Spirits). Pegasus was interesting but sloooooow and left unresolved with no indication of when the sequel would be out. She also has a BRAND NEW book, Shadows, that I know nothing of... It was released in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My girls loved this book! I noticed you mentioned it in some other discussions. Kind of a long story, but I have to tell it. Batgirl was given this book as a gift from an old retired public school teacher. We met him at the fair the year she was about six or seven. We had a booth of crafts and he had a booth of carved tombstones...no, I'm not kidding. He and the kids really hit it off and they played checkers to pass the time. Well, one day after the fair he knocked on our door and had The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles for my daughter (I think Robin was given a Hotwheels or something). She loved that book and read it aloud to me. The other day I told her that I was reading the book aloud to Junior Batgirl. She said, "Is it my book? Did you find it? Where was it? I loved that book! When you are done, give it back to me because I wanna read it." She's 21. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Forgive me if this book has been mentioned already, but we just finished Cornelia Funke's Igraine the Brave and my girls LOVED it. :hurray: Totally age-appropriate for my 5 and 7 yr old ...and less name-calling than in Dragon Rider -- Sorrel does tend to call people mushroom-muncher and the like in D.R. :D ETA: I see Gaiman's Stardust listed on the main page. I do want to note that this is not something I'd read to young children, though *I* quite enjoyed it. There are some violent descriptions --horrible things done to a unicorn-- and a s3x scene or two, if that's content you avoid with young ones. I also think the f-bomb is dropped. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Since this topic started ds has read Mysterious Benedict Society 2 and 3 and the first 3 of The Artemis Fowl series, he has really enjoyed both of these. He has also read The Little Prince, Ella Enchanted as well and is currently working on Taran Alexander (the first in the Chronicles of Prydain series) in the fantasy genre. I've got Redwall for our next read aloud, if I can keep him from reading it first. I'll definitely be coming back to this list as he has enjoyed so many on here fantasy is definitely his favorite genre (at least for now). Thanks to the Op and all the contributors. It is nice to get recs from the Hive so I don't have to search everything out on my own, he reads so fast that I have a hard time keeping him supplied so it is nice knowing I can come here and find something that I can trust will be a good book.
