Yay!!! I'm the first person to post on this thready thin!!! ;D
I read eleven books this summer, which truly isn't alot. The fantasy ones I read were,
"The Safe Keepers Secret," (By far my favorite)
By Sharon Shinn
Her mother kept the village's deepest secrets and told no one. Now her daughter Fiona must follow in her footsteps. But Fiona was not made to be a secret keeper. Her brother reed, who was left with her mother the same night she was born, is extremly good at keeping secrets. Especially from Fiona. Winter moon comes and peoples deepest wishes are revealed and granted. The word is out, the cat is out of the bag...but the secret telling isn't finished...yet.
Dragon's Milk (another of my favorites)
By Susan Fletcher
When Lyf falls under the rath of the desease Vermillion fever, Kaeldra will do anything in her power to save her. Even if it means babysitting draclings. Kaeldra returns to the cave to tend to the draclings, whoes mother gives her Dragon's Milk which is what will cure Lyf's illness. When there is a horrible accident and the mother dragon does not return, Kaeldra has to get the draclings to their native land and FAST, if she wants to save them. One problem: Everyone is after her, calling her the dragon girl. Can Kaeldra get the Dragons to safety in time and in turn save herself?
Flight of the Dragon Kin (prequal/sequal (it's actually the sequal but the story is a prequal) to Dragon's Milk)
By Susan Fletcher
She can talk to Dragon's but she doesn't know it. The birds come to her, land on her and sing to her. The king wants her to call dragons, wants to kill the dragons. Kara, the girl with green eyes, is taken to the far off lands to call the dragon's. When she does and one dies, she refuses to call more. The king threatens her, threatens to kill her. She runs away and falls into a nightmare: a Dragon's den. Can she escape the Dragon's, can she save them and take them to a distant land where they will be safe? Or will they perish and die from the arrows of the hunters who ordered around Kara? Kara must hurry.
Coraline (I listened to it on tape and didn't really get all of it but hey, what I got was good)
by Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean
Coraline is already bored with their new house and she's only been there a day. She discovers a door in the drawing room, which her mother mistakingly leaves open. And what a big mistake it is. For on the other side is a alternate universe in which Coraline's parents are perfect except that they have black button eyes. They want to keep her there forever, but Coraline wants to go home. When she returns and finds her parents have been captured, Coraline must find a way to save her family from the growing anger of the other mother.
Among the Hidden (if you liked the Giver, you'll love this book)
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
Imagine a world where you were only aloud to have two children. Imagine if your parents had had a third. The third was you. Imagine having to hide from everyone, having to stay inside all the time, having to watch your brothers go to school and have fun outside. Imagine the feeling of excitement to find another third child. In this book, Luke, a third child, meets another third child and watches as she organizes a riot that will change the world. Or the third childs world anyways. But when a tragic accident happens, Luke has to move away from his family, to start a new life. From now on, he is no longer Luke, the third child he is Luke...the son of a Barron.
The Field Guide (The first book in the Spider Whick Chronicles. I've read all five. I read the fifth this summer but I thought I'd post about the 1rst)
by Holly Black, Tony DiTerlizzi
Jared and his twin, his sister and his mother have just moved into an old mansion. His mother fears Jared has become so cought up in his parents divorce, he is acting of it. It doesn't help that some misterious creature is sneaking around the house, tieing peoples hairs to bed frames, kidnapping Jared's twin's pets. When Jared finds a book called The Field Guide and a secret study that once belonged To Arthur Spiderwick that tells everything anyone could want to know about Fairy's, Jared and his siblings must go on their first adventure into the land that only one man has ever documented before...Arthur Spiderwick.
And of course I read the Half-Blood prince but if you are a member on this website and don't know anything about it...you are insane...
