- Read the Belgariad series by David Eddings. You will LOVE them!
- Pendragon ive heard is a great series. Both my nephew (15) and my neighbors daughter (14) enjoyed and loved them. From what I gather, its about a boy who like travels between time and worlds, and is trying to save the universe against the bad guy. I think that it is fairly gender neutral, if slightly geared towards boys. If you are more in to unicorns and such, I would suggest Acorna (it's a lengthy series too). It's aimed a little towards adults, but it's something that a mature teenager could manage. Lastly, The Sword Of Shannara (Terry Brooks) is like a modified lord of the rings. Still aimed at people probably 15+, and appeals more to males, it's still a really good series. Oh, and Eragon. I have no idea what this is about, and i have the impression it is more juvenille, but it has something to do with dragons and such.
- Eragon is amazing. You could also try books by Tamora Pierce. Personally I prefer her Tortall books over her Circle of Magic ones. Robin McKinely has various books that aren't series but are still good. Try Spindle's End by her. it's almost like sleeping beauty, but different. Form your description of what you like to read, you'll love it. It has everything you asked for. For a funnier book you could try the Frog Princess, I don't remember who wrote it, but it was pretty good. It also has everything you asked for.
- Try Terry Pratchett. His Disc World books have a nice humour to them. There is also Piers Anthony. His books are very punny. CyberNara
- The Hobbit by Tolkien The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks The Magic of Recluce by L.E. Modesitt Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (The first one is Dragons of Auntumn Twilight) Inkspell and Inkheart by Cornelia Funke Split Infinity by Piers Anthony
- Anything by Tamora Pierce is wonderful but her Tortall books are the best. I would start with the first book in the Song of the Lioness quartet. I'm pretty sure its called Alanna: The First Adventure Harry Potter is always good Seven Tears into the Sea by Terri Farley Eragon and Eldest Hmm, thats all I can think of at the moment. Sorry.
- Both Eragon and King Fortis the Brave would be perfect
- Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley, The Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer, any of Madeline L'engle's, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, the Guardians of Time Series by Marianne Curley, and The Abhorsen Series by Garth Nix.
- Earthsea the series by Ursula K. Le Guin, Practical Magicby Alice Hoffman, Staying Dead (Retrievers, Book 1) by Laura Anne Gilman, Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, Magic Study by Maria Snyder, A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale by Terri Windling and Wendy Froud, DEAD WITCHES TELL NO TALES by Kim Harrison, FRAGILE THINGS by Neil Gaiman, PETER PAN(BOMC) by J.M. Barrie; MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY'S ANCESTORS OF AVALON by Diana L. Paxson, SIGN OF THE QIN: OUTLAWS OF MOONSHADOW MARSH by L.G. Bass , SHADOWMANCER by G.P. Taylor, WORMWOOD by G.P. Taylor
- Harry Potter The Cronicles of Narnia
- "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White "The Iron Tower" series " The Dragonstone" or anything else by Dennis McKiernan Anything by Tad Williams
- I found this author when i was 13 and i love love love her, Tamora Pierce, since all of her novels build on one another it is a good ideal to read it from the start with "Alanna: The First Adventure"
