Pendragon series (newer series)

This series is a great read. I am currently waiting for my mom to buy the 6th (or is it 7th) book.

it's about a boy named Bobby. He is the boy everyone wants to be. One day he is late for a basketball game and his crush walks into his house and they both confess their love for each other and kiss. While they are kissing his uncle walks in. he he. he just laughs. after the girl leaves (cant remember her name) they get on a really expensive looking motorcycle and head off into the badlands of New York. they stop at a abandoned train station and walk in. inside they meet Saint Dane (a really evil guy who wants to destroy everything). Bobby is told to go down the tracks and find the door with a star on it. he does and when he goes through it he ends up in a world called denduron. him and his uncle have to find a way to stop Saint Dane from destroying that and all the other territories (there are (i think) ten).

great books.

First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

GREAT GREAT GREAT!!

A series written by a master of the craft. I am still reading the series, but even though I am not done with it yet, "I'm lovin' it!"

This book makes it into my top 10 favorite book list.

Picture this::

A man with leprosy, shunned by everyone, forced into a place of true beauty. A place where you can see the beauty and life in everything. A place where even someone with leprosy can feel again.

This man, Thomas Covenant, was forced from his own world, his own reality, and into a place where he believes himself crazy because hoping, dreaming, imagination, can kill someone with leprosy. He is believed to be a God almost because he is the wielder of White Gold. Something with immense power in The Land. He does not want anything to do with the land, but he is stuck there

He is on a quest to save the land, whether he wants to or not.

Right now, I am reading the second book in the series. Called: The Illearth War.

The list of the books in order can be found at the link below.

The Dark is Rising

The Dark is Rising series is a great read. When I was about 10 maybe, my grandmother bought me the entire series as a present. I couldn't put them down. It was a tremendous five novels.

It is about a boy. He is the youngest of, I think, seven. He becomes the youngest and last of the wizards. All the while during his journeys, he must keep the secret from his parents and brothers and sisters.

Great series. I would go a little more in detail, but it's been a while since I read them last.

Have a great one!

The Fifth Sorceress

The Fifth Sorceress is a great novel by Robert Newcomb. It is a book about a great nation recovering from an attack made hundreds of years previously. They were attacked by Sorceresses using the Vagaries (evil side of magic). Being able to use only the Vigors (good side of magic) themselves, the wizards were nearly defeated.
Hundreds of Years later the sorceresses are gone. Prince Tristen and his twin sister Shailiha (I may have spelled that wrong) are called the chosen ones. They "find themselves thrown into a world they hardly know and yet must save."

Harry Potter Series

Everyone should definitely read this series. I think it is one of the miracles of writing. Harry Potter is about a boy around eleven years old. He lives with his aunt and uncle. Harry is a wizard, but he doesn't know it. His aunt and uncle can't stand anything out of the ordinary, so they *dislike him greatly*. His cousin Dudley is a bully and twice his own size. As they word it in the book "the size of a baby whale".

One day a letter comes for Harry (which is surprising to everyone). His uncle takes it away and later burns it, but the next day another letter comes. They just keep coming. Eventually his uncle gets fed up and moves. The letter eventually gets to Harry and it tells him that he is a wizard and he is enrolled with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I wont tell anymore or the story wont be as good. Oh... I forgot to mention, Harry is the most famous wizard in the world, and he is being hunted by an evil wizard named Voldemort.
