But you're right, YA is another story. I wish boys wouldn't find reading about girls so hard. Interesting post.

I read them later and didn't think as much of them, but for young me they were iconic in their way. The protagonist is an 11 year old English boy who discovers he's special (this is pre-Harry Potter) and has to fight the forces of evil. Lots of Arthurian stuff. (I recommend starting with The Dark is Rising, not the prequel Over See Under Stone which is for a slightly younger audience and doesn't feature Will).Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448401616156887602noreply@blogger.com
