This is the first book in the series that was written by Susan
Cooper. The book revolves around three children that happen to find a
map in their attic in their homeland of England. In this book is when

3. Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

This book was written by Orson Scott Card. Ender's game revolves

because it was chosen to be in the military and train as a commander
at a very early age. The military wants him to fight the creatures

biggest thing that the book talks about is the leadership skills that
Enger learns as he gets older. Most of the book focuses on what things
are good and what things are evil along with a variety of different
issues that Enger has towards morality and his life.


4. The Belgariad: Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings. This book is the
first edition of a series that was written by David Eddings. This is
definitely a fantasy book because it focuses on the characters of the
book and their quest to get the Orb of Albur. One of the main
characters is Garion, who is a young boy who had to leave his family's
farm along with three of his friends. All four characters are going to
grow up trying to save the world. There are a lot of unique worlds
that the characters are going to have to travel through so that they
can discover themselves. Garion is going to have a great future ahead
of him.


5. Homeland by R.A. Salvatore

Homeland is the first edition of a series that was written by R. A.
Salvatore. The book is about an underground world called the drow
world that has Drizzt Do’Urden living in it. Drizzi is the person who
never is going to fit in so he has to do all of his fighting on his
own. He is a very great warrior but he refuses to kill the drows even
though his family and society expects him to do it. The book talks
about a very dark world that a lot of teenagers are going to be able
to relate to based on the isolation of Drizzi. Hopefully, they will
see that he has a lot of compassion and strength within him.
