John Peel
A puzzle-led fantasy adventure, with riddles readers can try alongside the characters. The appeal is the unfolding quest and imaginative mix of worlds; the story is part of a continuing series.
Melissa De La Cruz
This offers a plot-led fantasy involving assassination, magic, royal duty, secrets and romance. Its central appeal is the partnership between an ambitious apprentice and a highly dangerous royal agent, while the volume leaves major messages unresolved.
Hillary Monahan
A dark, intense revenge fantasy about a teenager confronting sexual violence, seeking to save someone important to her and using magic that comes at a stated price. Expect horror, suspense and graphic imagery.
Katherine Langrish
This is a dark, suspenseful Viking voyage to Vinland, blending historical detail, mythology, magic and monsters. Peer and Hilde face deceptive adults, secrets and danger, while the story explores truth, responsibility, maturity, love, loss and longing.
A lively story about a wronged schoolgirl choosing increasingly risky ways to recover her future. Its strongest discussion point is the gap between understanding Bernetta’s predicament and approving of her solution.
Rachel Gillig
This is an atmospheric, dark fantasy centred on a distinctive card-based magic system and Elspeth’s uneasy relationship with the Nightmare. Romance develops alongside political conflict rather than replacing the fantasy plot.
A. B. Poranek
This offers immersive folklore, a slow-building relationship and a heroine confronting shame about her magic. It may suit readers who enjoy gothic atmosphere, complex myth-making and emotionally difficult fantasy rather than a light fairy-tale retelling.
Rosie Talbot
A dark supernatural mystery combines witchcraft, ghosts, grief and romance. Viola’s investigation is supported by friendships and a search for justice, while the story also builds suspense through murder, dangerous spirits and unsettling deaths.
Kiran Millwood Hargrave
A richly imagined adventure about mapmaking, friendship and courage under authoritarian rule. Isabella must act when murder, imprisonment and a friend’s disappearance unsettle her island, leading her towards magic and danger in the Forbidden Territories.
Dhonielle Clayton
A richly imagined magical-school adventure that places friendship and belonging alongside prejudice, family reputation and mystery. Ella’s determination and growing relationships drive the story, while the fantasy world draws on varied cultures and customs.
Roald Dahl
Expect a brisk moral fantasy rather than a cosy animal adventure. The story turns outrage about hunting into comic, threatening reversal, asking readers to feel the consequences from the animals’ perspective.
Audrey Coulthurst
This offers a slow-burn romance set against royal duty, forbidden magic and an investigation into killings. Its strongest appeal appears to be the developing relationship between Denna and Mare, alongside questions about identity and loyalty.
Daisy Meadows
A fantasy adventure centred on a stolen moonstone, fading fairy magic and dream-related danger. Rachel and Kirsty are presented as helping India search for the missing jewel before the situation becomes a nightmare.
