Fantastic Fiction:
Great Fantasy Books for Ages 11 to 17

Compiled by Merri V. Lindgren and Megan Schliesman with Hollis Rudiger
© 2005 Cooperative Children's Book Center; updated annually

This bibliography was originally developed for the 2005 Wisconsin Summer Library Reading Program. It is updated annually.

Book selection for this bibliography was driven by subject matter, literary quality, and age range. The titles included all fit somewhere within the wide scope of the fantasy genre.

Most of the book in this bibliography have been classified into one of the following categories, although many of the titles could easily fit into more than one:

Journeys, Quests and Discoveries

Magic and Mayhem

Eerie & Unnatural

Girl Power

Fairy Tales Unfolded

Reality with a Twist

Historical Imaginings

Superheroes & Superpowers

The comics and graphic novels featured in the Superheroes & Superpowers section often are titles that have multiple volumes. Here, and throughout this list, we have just highlighted the first one or two titles of a series.

Looking for ideas for younger readers? Check out Fantasy for 9 to 12 Year Olds: Borrowers, Boggarts, Broomsticks and Beyond. Looking for speculative or science fiction? Check out Possibilities: Selected Speculative and Science Fiction for Children and Teens.
