@@MichaelaDrechselova The Colour Of Magic was my first step into more adult books and it was a wonderful start for that - it's not necessarily a great pick for a young adult book in my opinion. A fair bit of humour in the books also comes from playing off of other fantasy tropes so it might be wise to wait until they're a bit more familiar with fantasy to give Discworld to someone. There are books in the series which were written with young adults in mind, such as the Tiffany Aching books or The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents. Another good Pratchett book to get kids into him would be Only You Can Save Mankind - which is a wonderful book about a child who ends up in a conflict from a video game that he plays

I'm 16 years old . I've read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson . After that, I thought nothing would be as good as these two series . I was lost. I couldn't find any good fantasy series. But thanks to Daniel's review of The Black Prism, I was intrigued by the concept of magic based on light. So I gave Lightbringer a try ..... I gotta say, it's really good . I'm currently reading the 3rd book, The Broken Eye. Thanks Daniel! , for introducing me to Lightbringer. After Lightbringer , I'll try Mistborn. This channel has become my favourite on KZfaq. Keep up the good work , Daniel! Love from India 🇮🇳

I’m a teen librarian and we do a lot of readers’ advisory for the tween/intermediate grades as well. My go to newer books to go to from Harry Potter are Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend and Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. Both have a lot of the same themes (magic school, found families, etc) as Harry Potter and gave me the same warm and fuzzy feelings. Furthermore and Whichwood by Tahereh Mafi are wonderful, especially for fans of Alice in Wonderland. Anything written by Kelly Barnhill is fantastic, especially The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Witch’s Boy. I think her books are great picks if a parent wants to buddy read with their child - they are just fantastic, heart-wrenching magical stories that anyone of any age can appreciate. Howl’s Moving Castle is a great classic fantasy to hand to a tween. I also think The Hobbit and LOTR are fine to hand to younger kids who are fluent readers. I agree with you that Redwall is fine for younger fluent readers - there’s no inappropriate content but I’d say the writing/vocab may be harder for struggling younger readers. And I’d say Series of Unfortunate Events is good for 8+ as long as the child is a fluent reader. If you like Series of Unfortunate Events, jump into The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place. Has a similar writing style but with a few more fantastical elements. In terms of graphic novels, Amulet is awesome for fantasy lovers - such a whimsical story! Edit to add: Completely forgot to add Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book. Holly Black has some great middle grade as well - Doll Bones is a delightfully spooky magic realism horror book that I loved. She also has some more traditional fantasy as well.

Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda is extremely popular in Australia, but I'm guessing doesn't have much exposure elsewhere (considering I never hear about it). Cannot recommend it higher for kids, I'd hazard a guess it's 2nd only to Harry Potter as most read children's fantasy in Australia. 3 unlikely companions adventure around a fantasy world to find 7 gems hidden in the 7 most dangerous places, which the dark lord hid away. Each book has a fantasy monster on the front cover which invariably protects that book's gem. It's very easy to read, very engaging, lots of puzzles for readers to work out ahead of time. And kid's ADORE the gems, remembering all their names, where they were found, what protected them, etc.

Narnia is very good if read from the Christian worldview, but would not recommend to a non-Christian. Also, read them in publication order (starting with Lion Witch and the Wardrobe). The Oz series is good as a classic for a fan of Alice. There's also 14 of them, which most people don't realize. But to anyone, probably the best modern series is Percy Jackson. Low fantasy, and actually manages to get people into classic Greek mythology.

Just burned through "Chronicles of Narnia" recently, and I really agree that it is a good read for children. Against some of the criticism i have read that it was sexist, the people making those claims seemingly missed that the female characters are many times the most important characters in the books. As an adult reading it the first time I had some issues with certain things, but the series was meant for kids, especially the first couple of books. And YES, please for the love of what is good, just read it in publication order... It is crystal clear that is how it should be read to anyone that actually read them this way.

It's classic allegory, nobody in the west is going to be able to escape that story format. It's okay to challenge kids and help them unpack the archetypal stories. I remember an article after the first Narnia movie came out a while back where an atheist parent was nervous about what his kid would get out of the movie, and the kid loved the movie but didn't really pick up on anything Christian in the story. Kids who aren't familiar with Christianity aren't going to connect Narnia to it.

Daniel, I will ship you a copy of The Chronicles of Prydain, because I can't tolerate the internet's ignorance of this series anymore. I didn't find out about these books until I was an adult and and yet it's still my favorite coming of a age story. The Hobbit is a great stepping stone (not just for kids) for anyone looking to delve into Tolkien. Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians by Brando Sando himself is also a great stepping stone for kids to delve into the Cosmere down the road.

So, one thing that was missed is the Edge Chronicles. From when I was (I think) 8-11 this series was like WoT was for my mid teens. Paul Stewart is an amazing author and his writing combined with Chris Riddell's amazing drawings make for one of the best fantasy ever. The Edge is one of the most unique fantasy settings and just seeing the changes that the wprld goes through in the various trilogies is agreat experience. I have not disliked a single entry in the series. This series occasionally deals with some pretty dark themes and has some very brutal moments, of which many have been drawn, so if your kid is somewhat sensitive to that sort of content it might be worth waiting until they're a little older, but for me, I just adored those books and looking back I still do, especially the extremely rich world that Stewart and Riddell created.

He can easily connect with young readers. He writes in first-person POV, his writing style makes you laugh and each book ends with a good lesson.

Series. Definitely Fantasy. -> Among his 41 novels, 83 short stories, 200+ poems and at least 42 scripts, Frank Baum wrote 14 novels in the Oz series (one of which was make into a movie you may have heard of). I have only read a few, but they were very good. (I wonder why I never read them to Daniel??)

Jack Lulich also, I believe that if an adult with problems and insecurities (like everyone) can overcome them to make a child happy for a while is a hero. As CS Lewis said “a children story that can only be enjoyed by children, is a bad children story”, there is so much to learn in them, I enjoy Disney movies as a work of art, I see more magical the fact that someone can imagine and write (whatever format, movie, book, poem) a magical world, than actual magic.

I started reading the Pendragon series when I was about 10 or 11 and absolutely fell in love with it and ended up reading the whole series. A lot of cool, trippy stuff having to do with portals to different worlds with many different cultures and things like that. Some cool little twists and turns long the way too. I really fell in love with the whole concept of the series at that age and it still has a very dear place close to my heart even now, just over ten years later.

I couldn’t recommend The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud enough it’s a series I read after being done with what was published of Harry Potter and Eragon and I in my personal opinion it tops both series. The writing is witty and hilarious at times, it takes on heavy subjects in a way that makes it more accessible for children (classism and imperialism among others), you have morally grey characters, GROWTH, a great ending. It’s a kind of urban fantasy set in an alternate modern time. The Wizard of Oz is also a HUGE series that any child can dive into with no problems, I also deeply love Ella Enchanted.

I reread the first Bartimaeus book recently and it still holds up! It's weird, I remember when this came out it was being advertised as similar to Harry Potter, which made zero sense to child-me...now that I work in publishing I recognize the marketing ploy. Think this series is important in that it can teach kids to look critically at authority/harmful systems that are considered normal...

I have been reading and experiencing lit with kids and trying to share my fantasy love with them. I plan to read several that kids have recommended to me as well, like the Unwanted series and Amulet. Kids also love anything dystopian, so Hunger Games, Divergent, etc. As a kid, I LOVED to read and especially remember The Chronicles of Prydain, Redwall, Lost Years of Merlin, as well as some easy reads like Animorphs. His Dark Materials, Earthsea, and Eragon are on my TBR shelf right now, but I missed them growing up.

I recently read Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson and this is a series I will own in my home and require my kids to read. It is hilarious and well written. It doesn't hurt that it is by my favorite author either. I also read a lot of those suggested here in the comments but one series I liked growing up was Gregor the Overlander. There are 5 books I think and it is about a kid who discovers a world beneath his apartment building where Rats, Spiders, etc. live. It is definitely geared toward a younger audience and I think 9 years old would be a great place to start.

The Pendragon series, by D J MacHale (has nothing to do with king Arthur Pendragon). One of the very best YA series I read as a kid. There are about 11 books and I eagerly awaited each one as I got into my twenties. I gave away the first book to a co-worker for her son. She said he finished it in a week and was now trying to figure out how to afford the rest of the series because he was tirelessly asking for the next book, so I gave her the rest of my set. Now that I have a newborn, I'm already waiting for her to be about 11 so I can introduce her to the series.

Get them addicted to Brandon Sanderson as early as it gets

Hey Daniel. Love your channel btw. For a lot of us fantasy readers who grew up in the late 70's and early 80's The Hobbit and The Chronicles of Narnia are "THE" fantasy books, and of course The Hobbit leads to TLotR which I started when I was 12. I would recommend Mrs. Brisby and the Rats of NIMH. Also I don't know if these books are published anymore, but the Choose Your Own Adventure series were really important to me to get me to read when I was 9 or 10. I also like the Ranger's Apprentice series which I am currently reading while waiting for certain authors, who will remain nameless, to finish their series.

I see there are some comments for The Belgariad by David Eddings, which is superb and one of my favorites, but I’m going to give some love to his other series The Elenium and Tamuli. 6 book series, interesting magic systems, heroic knights, a young queen, trolls, Big Magic McGuffin with a surprise inside, a treatise on the ridiculousness for religious discrimination, and an easily digestible writing style. It’s one I read round and round when I was a young person and cemented my addiction to fantasy. Notable mention: Dragonlance series. I still want to be a Dragon Highlord to this day.

I read His dark materials and Inheritence, and i loved them, but in my case i started with Dragonlance. The main books, and little by little some of the others, and that was my introduction to fantasy. It became a huge book collection, though sadly not all the books made it to my country. The quality is obviously lower than other books or series of the same time, but for a kid, they seemed both intriguing and exciting enough to keep me wondering about the characters and that world. I remain a huge fan and would recommend them every time i can, but there is obviously better stuff out there. Just thought they deserved a shout-out :) I'm slowly becoming a fan of this channel, keep up the good work!

"The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende. The movie pales in comparison to the book and they have very little similarities, just wanna get that out there first. Especially for a child who considers themselves a 'reader' Neverending Story is one of those books that is very easy to get important life lessons out of. The whole thing is this sort of metacommentary about escapism through reading fantasy books, and the natural projection we do between ourselves and what we read. In the end it culminates in the (imo) incredibly positive message that stories can serve both as comfortable escapism but also as constructive experiences that can help you grow as a person. It sure helped me a ton as a kid. I'm honestly kind of sad that it doesn't get more attention for being such an amazingly written, mind-warpingly meta, yet at times disturbingly relatable book that can be enjoyed by all ages while having such specific positive lessons for young readers that can impact the way they consume fiction for the rest of their lives.

I was about to post a comment about the Neverending Story, glad I'm not the only one who thought of it :) And I completely agree that the movie, although part of my childhood, is very much inferior to the book. That's partly because the movie of course only includes roughly the first half of the book. But even the 'surface' fantasy elements in the first half of the story are, in my opinion, much better executed in the book than in the movie. Plus, they didn't even include Ygramul the Many and their special poison (the effects of which I think are very cool and also kinda poetic)
