The Keys to the Kingdom (1) - Mister Monday
2.  The Keys to the Kingdom (1) - Mister Monday by Garth Nix

4.  The Magicians' Guild: Black Magician Trilogy, Book 1 by Trudi Canavan
The list author says:
  "Many teenage Potter fans are sure to love this series, however, I hated the uninspired plot and use of language. It features a school for wizards and secret passages if you like that kind of thing."

5.  Sabriel by Garth Nix

Wolf Brother: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Book 1
7.  Wolf Brother: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Book 1 by Michelle Paver

8.  The Wind on Fire Trilogy: "The Wind Singer", "Slaves of the Mastery", "Firesong" by William Nicholson

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

The Book of Dead Days
13.  The Book of Dead Days by Marcus Sedgwick

The Earthsea Quartet: "A Wizard Of Earthsea"; "The Tombs of Atuan"; "The Farthest Shore"; "Tehanu" (Puffin Books)
16.  The Earthsea Quartet: "A Wizard Of Earthsea"; "The Tombs of Atuan"; "The Farthest Shore"; "Tehanu" (Puffin Books) by Ursula Le Guin
The list author says:
  "A deep and thoughtful series featuring dragons, a wizard school and powerful magic. Probably too heavy-going for younger Potter fans though. It's much better than the rubbish live-action adaptation."
£7.69   Used & New from: £4.17
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (53 customer reviews)

The Gift (Pellinor Trilogy)
17.  The Gift (Pellinor Trilogy) by Alison Croggon

18.  The Kingfisher Book of Mythology: Gods, Godesses and Heroes from Around the World by Cynthia O'Neill
