Terry Pratchett

Pratchett's City Watch arrives, a dragon terrorizes Ankh-Morpork, and it's both hilarious and weirdly wise. A great place to start Discworld.

The Color of Magic (Discworld, #1)
Terry Pratchett
The very first Discworld, with a hapless wizard playing tour guide to the disc's first tourist. Very silly in the best way, if a bit rougher than the later books.

A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1)
Madeleine L'Engle
Meg travels across the universe to rescue her father, armed with love and stubbornness. A childhood favorite that holds up.
★ 5Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness, #1)
Tamora Pierce
Alanna disguises herself as a boy to train as a knight. I devoured this whole series growing up.
