Greetings!

My 12-year-old daughter recent read Monica Furlong's Wise Child and Juniper, and will soon be getting Colman … does anyone have suggestions for similar books?

Thanks!

Well, the ones I'm familiar with that the LT engine recommends are: Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede, Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper, Sabriel by Garth Nix (though Mister Monday might be more her speed due to age).

I also recommend Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt, Princess Academy by Shannon Hale, Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, and Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey.

All would be considered age appropriate fantasy. The second paragraph are books that I've given 8 out of 10 stars though I also gave Dealing with Dragons an 8 as well.
