The Ultimate Fantasy Book List for Christian Teens and Adults (and those who wish they were) You blazed through The Chronicles of Narnia, Redwall, and the Ranger's Apprentice. Now what? Rest assured your favorite books will probably stay your favorites for all your life, but there are great fantasy novels ahead! If your teen devours every fantasy novel you can find, or if you are looking for a book that will give you an escape for this world, here's your list! May it act as a map to guide you through new dangers, passed hungry trolls, and over the mountains to a safe haven. Check out this information first! I’ve included some of my “to read” list. If I haven’t read a book, I put a star after the author’s name. Not all books from all authors are listed. If you like an author, check out the rest of his/her books. While the books are organized by age groups, don’t hesitate to read up or down a level. Not all books are written by Christian authors. If there is something objectionable that I know about, I note them at the bottom of their section. The PDF comes with a handy box in front of each box for you to check off when you have finished reading it. There are currently 65 books on this list! But it’s not finished! I will continue to add books as more fantasy novels come to my attention. To get the updates, make sure to sign up for my newsletter. There is another list for grade school kids and tweens called The Ultimate Fantasy Book List for Christian Kids (and those who wish they were). Now gird thyself in armor! Take up your sword, your arrows. Prepare to ride your dragon or slay it (whatever may be your adventure). Brave the mountains with their hazards of snow and treacherous caves that lead to goblins. Prepare to ride into battle with no hope of surviving. (Or I should say... Enough talk. Now it's time to read.)

I included Hind's Feet on High Places, even though it's not necessary a fantasy, because it's an amazing book. Also, Arena falls more under science fiction, but you'll love it.
