I am 14 and would like to read more fantasy novels. I have read all the Narnia and Harry Potter books and enjoyed them, so where should I go next?

Wonderful fantasy writers abound building on a great tradition stretching back to Lewis Carroll's Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. You could start with Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, Patrick Ness's Chaos Walking trilogy or Philip Reeve's A Darkling Plain, all of which have been garlanded with prizes including the Guardian Children's book award. Or, going back to well-loved modern classics you could try The Changeover, The Tricksters or Alchemy all by Margaret Mahy who has a rare ability to slip her characters seamlessly between the real world and somewhere other. Or Peter Dickinson's The Ropemaker and its sequel Angel Isle which take readers to an unknown place and time rich in its own mythology and culture.
