Have you read "So You Want To Be A Wizard" by Diane Duane? It's the first in a huge series (but standalone-ish). I thought it was a very good juvenile fantasy story. Also, there's a new book out called "The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly. Now, I'm not sure if you can even call it juvenile as the actual story is very dark and could be seen as adult, but it is taken from a child's perspective. I really enjoyed it, though it was far different than I had expected. The premise made me think of a sort of Alice in Wonderland type story...it was more like a travel through twisted fairy tale land. Also, I linked you on my blog since this is a pretty nifty blog in itself. Hey, got your email. Have you read “So You Want To Be A Wizard” by Diane Duane?

Fantastic list. I'll be using this next time I want to buy some YA/Juvenile fantasy stuff! I've yet to read any Andre Norton, but I imagine I have to now. I'm running out of decent novels to read from the more modern YA fantasy lot. Thanks for this list :) Ohhhh! Fantastic list. I’ll be using this next time I want to buy some YA/Juvenile fantasy stuff!
