This series is fantastic, and has been horridly overlooked, particularly so seeming that our current culture seems so fascinated with all things Potter. Not that The Dark Is Rising is anything like Harry Potter - not at all. It's thickly steeped in Celtic and Arthurian legend, is relentless in its exploration...

"Red-haired Snow White" ("Akagami no Shirayukihime") will appeal to a very particular group of readers, only.

This series is 100% innocent and pure, peaceful and calm. Despite the fantasy fairy tale middle age-ish setting, the main genre of it is without argument Slice-of-Life. It is episodic...

Annual re-read. First encountered at the age of ten, in primary school (in fact I still have Mrs. Halsall's own copy, sorry, Miss) and loved since. Lively's enduring ghost story tells of James Harrison being haunted by a bad-tempered C17th poltergeist whose distaste of the modern world manifests itself...

Hmmm...I don't know how I feel about this. It's probably more violent than I would normally put in my teen section, and the art is mostly really pretty and good, except I hate the way the artist draws the main character's female friend - he gave her a real bimbo look, with giant lips that look so out of place...
