    the Story of a Girl and Her Monster

    Auxier, Jonathan
    The beautiful and cozy adventures of a girl and her monster. Highly recommended.
    Book, 2018New York : Amulet Books, 2018.
  • Hysterically funny book about a rather bumbling wizard who has to take on being the Dark Lord for a season, for reasons of tourism. Amazing griffins, who get a whole second book to themselves.
    Book, 2013London : HarperCollins Children's Books, 2013.
  • Beautiful alternate world history. The beginning of a trilogy.
    Book, 2014New York, New York : Viking, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), 2014.
  • The first book to be written in this incredible series which follows generations of very human animals through incredible adventures. These are definitely full of very real topics: slavery, violence, religion, and much more, but such great magic-ish…
    Unknown, 2014London : Vintage Books, [2014]
  • If you've never read this, you've missed a lot, including a really great heroine. First in a two-book duology.
    Book, 2009New York : HarperCollins Children's Books, 2009.
  • First in a trilogy. Wildwood is set just outside a real city, but it's a very fantastic wood full of magical animals and adventures!
    Book, 2011New York : HarperCollins, c2011.
  • First of an almost science-fiction, but feels more like fantasy, trilogy. Very cool puzzles in an alternate history New York City!
    Book, 2017New York, NY : Walden Pond Press, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, [2017]
  • The book most likely to be discribed as if it were Harry Potter, but it isn't. It's much funnier, too, in a very wicked way.
    Book, 2003New York : Miramax Books/Hyperion Books For Children, [2003]
  • If Harry Potter were a girl, and honestly much cooler. First in an ongoing series!
    Book, 2017New York : Little, Brown and Company, 2017.
  • Septimus Heap is the seventh son of a seventh son, and one who disappears at birth. That's really all you need to know, except that this very funny and fantastical series has a lot of very thick books in it!
    Book, 2005New York : Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2005]
