 | The Spiderwick Chronicles (Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrath by Holly Black
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $27.99 This set could easily have been put in one volume and saved everyone a lot of cash (you can read one book in a couple of hours and that includes stopping to eat and make a few phone calls), but it is still about an intriguing subject and the artwork is beautiful.

Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $16.94 If you own the Spiderwick Chronicles you should really get this, too. The art is as wonderful as anything you'll ever find.

 | The Shamer's Daughter (The Shamer Chronicles) by Lene Kaaberbol
Buy new: $7.95 / Used from: $0.15 This series begins with an interesting concept, but the first book is a little weak compared to the following ones, keep reading and they get even better.

 | The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.88 This book was such a treasure, as soon as I was done with it I went back to the first page and started all again. You'll have to read the following books in the series because you'll want to find out what happens to Eugenides, but I have to warn you they feature great writing as well, but are bittersweet and sad.

 | Avatar The Last Airbender - The Complete Book 1 Collection
Buy new: $40.99 / Used from: $35.72 This is such a great show with a multilayered plot and characters of such depth it is really more on the level of shows such as 'Lost' than its Nickelodeon peers like Spongebob Squarepants -not that there's anything wrong with Spongebob! Just give this show a chance and you'll be surprised how much you like it.

Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $39.95 |
 | Stardust (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.41 Great movie with witches, pirates, undead princes, and such a sweet love story.
|
 | Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $2.43 This is the best version of Peter Pan ever. I was never a big fan of the story before I saw this. The casting in this movie is the best I've ever seen, I can't imagine anyone else ever playing these characters again, they've already been perfected.
|
 | Ella Enchanted (rack) by Gail Carson Levine
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 The movie of the same name may have been 'based' on this book, but aside from the title they couldn't be more different. If you loved or hated the movie, don't let it stop you from reading this.

 | Ptolemy's Gate (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 3) by Jonathan Stroud
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.64 The ending was a disappointment for me considering the series was classic as a whole, but still worth reading.
|
 | Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1) by Christopher Paolini
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 Critics say this borrowed heavily from Tolkien, but he didn't invent dragons, elves or dwarves. Forgot that and you'll enjoy this story. Warning: Never EVER see this movie, I laughed so hard during it, you would have thought it was a comedy. It won't just ruin you for this book series, you'll probably never pay to see a movie again. You've been warned.

 | Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2) by Christopher Paolini
Buy new: $10.39 / Used from: $2.30 |
 | By These Ten Bones by Clare B. Dunkle
Buy new: $13.22 / Used from: $5.20 I wasn't a huge fan of the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy by Dunkle with its disturbing abduction/forced marriage theme, but don't let that stop you from reading this.
