From the ALA Young Adult Library Services Assocation (YALSA for short), a list of books that you can recommend to tweens and teens if they like the Narnia movie and/or books.
The list includes things like Lloyd Alexander's Prydain books, Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi's Spiderwick Chronicles
(as well as Black's standalone Valiant
and Tithe
), Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea
books, and one of my favorite books of all, time Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth
.
I thought the list might overlook some things, but I think it looks pretty good. I would probably add Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters books, Justine Larbalestier's Magic or Madness
, as well as Margo Lanagan's Black Juice
. But I'd be hard-pressed to say that anything major is missing.
Am I wrong? (post in the comments if you have other ideas)
