A Wizard of Earthsea

by Ursula K. Le Guin

Ages 11–13 Reading age 12 Novel Set in somewhere magical epicthoughtful

A gifted, proud boy is sent to a school for wizards, shows off with a spell he cannot control, and spends years pursued by what he let through.

A story about children and witches and wizards, epic and thoughtful in tone. We would put it with children of 11–13, and at a reading age of about 12 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
