Sometimes, the best thing about fantasy is how close it comes to the truth.
I’m using a broad definition of fantasy for this list, including some high fantasy and some dark dystopian novels. Without further commentary or explanation, here are some of my favorites…
His Dark Materials Series by Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Dune by Frank Hebert
The Lost Conspiracy by Frances Hardinge
Uglies by Scott Westefeld
The Giver by Lois Lowry
Once Upon A Marigold. By: Jean Farris ;)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read the Uglies...might have to add it to my list...love your other selections! Hunger Games was an all time favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteKristi- Thanks for joining me here. Uglies is definitely a worthwhile read. My niece is currently working her way through the whole series and loving it.
I recommend the rest of the Uglies series.....
ReplyDelete1) Uglies
2) Pretties
3) Specials
4) Extras
They are all by Scott Westerfield. It is an excellent book series. I am almost done with Extras. I really encourage anyone who enjoys futuristic novels or action novels to read the series!!
