Recommended Books for Teens: Alternatives to HP

My friend Sarah Anne sent me these recommendations for exciting, well-written Christian-based fantasy books:

 

The DragonKeeper Series by Donita K. Paul
The Restorer Series by Sharon Hinck

I also had another friend recommend Christian author Bryan Davis' excellent fantasy fiction series published by AMG, called Dragons in Our Midst. Check it out! 

Also, my darling teenage friend Grace sent me the list below. I have wanted to post this for some time. It's a list of GREAT ALTERNATIVE BOOKS for teens to read besides those with dark witchcraft-related themes. Here they are:

The Eragon series by Christopher Paolini
Anything by Francine Rivers - Her books aren't fantasy but I personally love her writing.
Ted Dekker books, especially the Red, Black, White series
Books by Frank Peretti (This Present Darkness, etc.)
Proof by Bill Bright and Jack Cavanaugh
The Last Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly
The Shining Company by Rosemary Sutcliff
The Gammage Cup by Carol Kendall
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy

Grace says, "I also really like classical books, I'm currently reading a lot of Jane Austen and Charlotte and Emily Bronte. I think a lot of girls would like their books." There you go! Can't go wrong with the classics. Thank you, Grace!
