Classics

A Wrinkle in Time - (Newberry Medal Winner) is simply a beautiful book that has paved the way home Child modern fantasy by putting forward a story of several children embarking on a great adventure, in this case to save their father. There is some substance fascinating and thought in this book like living stars and tesseracts. It is a perennial favorite on the list and each librarian.

A Wizard Of Earthsea - Written by Ursula K. K. Le Guin This book is the first in a series entitled The Earthsea series. Short and light but extraordinarily beautiful. This first book series follows a young boy named Ged as he goes from being a simple goat herd to a powerful magician. It is simply beautiful and highlights some wonderful and magical themes, like the notion that all the dragons (including) has a secret name. And if you know the secret name you can control thing (including dragons).

The Hobbit - This probably should not appear on this list, but it is so good that I can not leave. With the enormous absolute success of Lord of the Rings, this book may be overlooked, but I consider it better! Also in the works for a film.

Five Children and - this is one of the most popular books written by Edith Nesbit who is often credited for having created the whole genre of children embarking in fantastic adventures. Her books are in the public domain now and can easily be found for free. The theme of this book is: Be careful what you request. You may get it! This is the message in this charming story of five young people who discover a bizarre sand creature that grants wishes. There is a catch, though course: the wishes come undone at sunset, and worse yet, things often become out of hand!

Dragonflight - This book is a little more complex than previous ones I mentioned here and it tends to be more of a novel for adults, but it is very appropriate for teens. We present a complex world of dragons through the main character Lessa. This book is often credited with being the book that has launched many young girls a writing career. It is the first book of a trilogy of books called Riders of Pern series Dragon.

A Princess of Mars The first novel of Edgar Rice Burroughs series and currently in the initial stages of being written in a film or animation to be made by Pixar. This book is the first in a series called John Carter of Mars and it is good fun in the joyous traditions of the old pulp magazines. It is a favorite for young boys, as a sword fighting big monsters.

Contemporary Fiction and Fantasy

When it comes modern fantasy fiction for teenagers there is a huge choice to choose, and that in itself could be an obstacle. Here are summaries of some of the most popular and I also chose some that are currently scheduled to be turned into a movie.

Artemis Fowl - The series of books takes a bit of a unusual position in that children's books go because Artemis Fowl himself is a genius of twelve and a criminal mastermind. The author of these book called Die Hard with fairies! And books are often characterized as a high-octane and rip-roaring ride. It is a popular series of books on the website of big and even a wiki. There are currently five books in the series with the first being simply titled Artemis Fowl. The sixth book "The Time Paradox" is set to be released in July 2008.

Here there be Dragons - The title is fairly even mysterious and brings us back to another era. It was the phrase that cartographers used to write patches of ocean that were unexplored. The basic premise of this story will really resonate with teens who are fans of fantasy itself because it starts with the unusual meeting of three foreign young John, Jack and Charles on a rainy night in London. We shall find these three young men are JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis and Charles Williams.

The Kingdoms and the Elves of course - This is a series of books taking place in a world of magic and secrets called Ruin Mist. This book has been slow to start but word of mouth made it a bestseller. It is one of those relatively little known books and series that is very satisfying.

Septimus Heap - If magic and wizards are of strong appeal this series of books are a good alternative to Harry Potter. The Main character (Septimus) is the seventh son of seventh son and the main line of the story follows two children switched at birth: a boy destined to be a wizard and a young girl destined to become a princess. There are currently four books in the series and the first book was picked up by Warner Brothers and it is being transformed into a film that should be published in 2010.

Any of these books or series of launch and adolescents young adults in a remarkable adventure into strange fantasy worlds and no joystick or keyboard is required.
