Looking for a young adult book about magic orbs
A Listmania! list by Booklyn Jean (Tucson, Arizona, USA)
Share with friends
The list author says: "After reading Harry Potter, I came across Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. I was left wondering why Rowling gets so much attention when there are magical/fantastical books written for young adults that are much more deserving of accolades, like Pullman's. This list contains books I think are of a higher caliber than Harry Potter; they are better written, their content is more enriching, and most contain inspiring female characters."
The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1)
1. The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1) by Philip Pullman
The list author says:
"Book 1 of His Dark Materials.
This trilogy is amazing. Its world is expansive and its ethical and political concerns are well-developed.
Soon to be a movie! Visit: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385752/ for info and production stills and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58X4o_41Frc for a teaser!" ybarra-cgm.com

The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3)
3. The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3) by Philip Pullman
The list author says:
"Book 3 of His Dark Materials.
Some of the trilogy's strangest elements are in the third book. While the other books are fairly anti-organized religion, this one has the clearest Pagan-bent."

Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and the Country
4. Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and the Country by Patricia C. Wrede
ybarra-cgm.com
The list author says:
"This book is tremendously witty. Take the feistiest two of Jane Austen's female characters and place them in a part-historical part-fantasy novel set in a society in which magic is a part of everyday life. The novel is composed of letters between the two main characters, who are cousins and bosom buddies."

The Grand Tour
5. The Grand Tour by Patricia C. Wrede
The list author says:
"This sequel to Sorcery and Cecelia is so action packed that Kate and Cecys' diary entries, which constitute the book, divulge more plot and less character development than the first. Though I didn't love it as much as The Enchanted Chocolate Pot, I still enjoyed it and relished the opportunity to spend more time with this loquacious cousin-duo."
