Books like Fablehaven?

What are some books like Fablehaven out there? I have a lot of spare time on my hands and I need some good books to read. I know I’m gonna be reading the second FableHaven book next. And I’m also gonna be readin the Frog Princess books. But what else is there to read.I already read Inkheart, Inkspell, Chronicals of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the Warrior books. So can anyone tell me about some good books like these ones?Not any vampire books though, or Stephen King, or anything that isn’t fantasy type. Not the dragon books either. I know I’m picky.

Tolkien: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Two Towers, and The Return of the King; Silmarillion; also Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. George MacDonald: Phantastes At the Back of the North WindChristopher Paolini: In the first book, Eragon, young Eragon finds a mysterious blue stone in the forested mountains above his home in Aagaesia. Along with his blue dragon, Saphira, Eragon is stumbling about because things are happening to him which he does not understand. His inner goodness and common sense enable him to muddle through and he has some help from a couple of humans and some dwarfs. In the second book, Eldest, the dwarfs, elves, humans, Eragon, and Saphira have joined forces against evil. Eragon and Saphira have begun training to understand and improve their skills. A new, red dragon makes an appearance. I’ve been told that in the third book a golden dragon will appear. It has just been announced that the third book, Brisingr, will be available on September 20, 2008. Originally planned as a trilogy, Paolini has recently decided that there will be four books in his Inheritance Cycle. John Beachem: Storms of Vengeance is John’s first novel and I’ve been told that it is part of a series of 8 to 10 books. There is a murder mystery to be solved. Who did it and why? There is a mythical Lorradda Stone to locate. There are three parallel stories as we follow the actions of three different groups of people. There are also some ogres, two elves, several sorcerers, a troll, and one very impressive river monster. The book ends with a cliff hanger. One reason that young people gave for liking Harry Potter was the detail in the stories. They will find plenty of detail here as well. David Eddings: There are three stories in Volume I of The Belgariad: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician’s Gambit. Volume II of The Belgariad has two stories: Castle of Wizardry and Enchanters’ End Gambit. If you are looking for grand adventure and plenty of detail it is here. Some may object to the slow progression and limited action of this tale. A sorcerer and his daughter, a sorceress, have gathered together a group of individuals to fight evil. It seems that the particular make-up for this group is necessary based upon an ancient prophecy. The group includes: the Nimble Thief, the Man with Two Lives, the Blind Man, the Dreadful Bear, the Knight Protector, the Horse Lord, the Bowman, the Queen of the World, and the Mother of the Race that Died. A young boy named Garion, who was raised by his Aunt Pol, is caught up in all of this, though he doesn’t know why. But then, is she really his Aunt? There is so much detail that I have not as yet confirmed there are no mistakes in the mapping of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed The Belgariad and look forward to reading the sequel, The Mallorean. The Mallorean Volume I: Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, and Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings The Mallorean Volume II: Sorceress of Darshive and The Seeress of Kell by David Eddings Polgara, the Sorceress by David Eddings Belgarath, the Sorcerer by David EddingsTerry Pratchett: The Wee Free Men – Tiffany Aching and a clan of six inch tall blue men attempt to rescue her brother and stop an invasion from Fairyland. A Hatful of Sky – The second Tiffany Aching novel. Wintersmith – The third Tiffany Aching novel. The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld) Other books in the Discworld Series – The Colour of Magic, Witches Abroad, Sourcery, Wyrd Sisters, Thief of Time, Small Gods, and Mort.Isaac Asimov: Though Asimov is usually thought of as a science fiction writer, Magic is a collection of his fantasy short stories.Jim Butcher: The Dresden Files – Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril, Summer Knight, Death Masks, Blood Rites, Dead Beat, Proven Guilty, White Knight, and Small Favor.Terry Brooks: The Sword of Shanarra, The Elfstones of Shanarra, and The Wishsong of Shanarra.Mercedes Lackey: The Mage Winds Trilogy – Winds of Fate, Winds of Change, and Winds of Fury.
