Whether you call it young adult fantasy, YA, or just fantasy – fictional worlds and magical elements have inspired readers for generations. They can be a gateway to reading in a way that real-world-based stories cannot. What fantasy books do you recommend for teenagers (or even tweens or pre-teens) to hook them into the fantasy genre? These could be books set in a fictional universe, books with magic elements, or anything else that plays with magical realism to tell a compelling tale that school-aged readers can identify with.

Why this book?
A bit of a different take from traditional fantasy books told from the first-person narrative. Wonderful character development and solid clean humor. Toward the 4th/5th books, there is a bit more adult language, but only in a couple of places, and nothing teens haven't heard before. The audiobook version of this is exceptional as well with amazing voice acting by the reader Heath Miller.
