| | | Narnia, Children's Fantasy
I had a thread going about children's fantasy...recommendations and stuff. Unfortunately it is all lost.
I liked Narnia, though the ending was far too much. The old order probably remedies the heaviness at the end. Must give it another try.
I've read Harry Potter too many times.
Any suggestions? |

| | | I loved the Sabriel/Lirael/Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. I'd definitely reccomend it to people that enjoyed the dark materials books. |

| | | I used to love children's fantasy. My favourite was a plain kid's fiction book based around kids dreaming up their own worlds.
It was Bridge to Terabithia by Kat Paterson. |

| | | Vivian Vande Velde writes amazing children/teen fanatsy novels, I loved them to bits growing up. Companions of the Night and Dragon's Bait (I think) were my favourites, and Dead Men Tell No Tales. Great books.
