Summer Reading After Harry Potter

Don't end the school year without suggesting some great fantasy classics for your students to read this summer.

Now that Harry's gone, what will you suggest for summer reading? The Harry Potter series appealed the collective imaginations of young and old with adventure, magic, vivid narrative,clever dialogue, and young, clever protagonists. Here are four tried and true series that will keep Harry Potter loving students reading all summer long!

Classic Fantasy Favorites

The Chronicles of Pyrdain by Lloyd Alexander: Since the The Book of Three was first published in 1964, young readers of fantasy have enjoyed reading the adventures of the Assistant Pig-Keeper, Taran, as he seeks to become a hero.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis: The recent cinema and DVD successes of Walden Media's The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe have brought well deserved attention to this allegorical series. Challenge students to read Prince Caspian before the movie comes out this May!
The Time Quartet by Madeline L'Engle: The travels don't end with A Wrinkle in Time. Follow Meg Murry and her family as they tesseract through time and space.
The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien: Your students will journey through Middle Earth with Bilbo,Frodo and their brave companions as they take on the dark elements that plague their world.
