10. BONE by Jeff Smith
BONE was a fantasy graphic novel I loved the art style, characters, and fantasy world they lived in. There was always a wait list to check one out at the library it was so popular. 9. Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan The Kane Chronicles focused on the brother sister duo Carter and Sadie Kane and their adventures through the world of Egyptian Gods in effort to save their father. Riordan’s humor and action-packed writing kept me buying each book and eagerly awaiting the next. 8. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott I read this book in 5th grade and it had a huge impact on me. I tended read only fantasy, so Little Women was a very different story for me and expanded my reading horizons. 7. Matilda by Roald Dahl A short classic that I’ve reread countless times. Great story, super engaging and re-readable and it might have one of the best lessons about family and what’s healthy for you as a person that I’ve ever seen in children’s or adult media. 6. The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis I’m still a little bitter about the ending, but the Narnia books are undoubtedly amazing reads. It’s been a long time since I’ve read them, but Narnia was a defining series of my childhood. 5. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket This was the first series to challenge my young mind with an ambiguous ending. Snicket’s entertaining writing, mystery, and despair filled world was something I just ate up. 4. The Molly Moon Series by Georgia Byng I still pick up the first 4 books of the Molly Moon series now and again. They’re entertaining, funny, clever, and an outright pleasure to read even after all these years. 3. The Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan This series is why I know so many useless Greek mythology facts. One of my favorite series and it's still going strong! 2. MYTH Inc. Series by Robert Asprin and Jodie Lynn Nye This series started in 1978 and I’m still collecting new installments. This is one of the most punny and creative fantasy series you’ll ever find. I love the dialogue and character interactions, the different dimensions that make up their world and all the ridiculous story lines that get better as you get older. 1. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling Surprise, surprise Harry Potter is number one. I’ve already gone into pretty good detail on the Harry Potter books in other posts (check it out here), so I’ll keep this short. HP is a huge part of my life even now and for good reason. The writing, morals, characters, and pure emotions in this series keep it relevant, fresh, and enjoyable no matter how old you get. Harry Potter is something everyone should read at least once.
