Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power.

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Hobbit
Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tale, The Hobbit. Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals: Alice, Pooh, Toad... As with all classics, repeated readings continue to bring new detail and perspectives to the reader's mind, and Tolkien's Middle-earth is a vast mine of treasures and knowledge, its roots delving deep into folklore, mythology and language. The Hobbit is, therefore, an ideal book for annotation: as well as offering a marvellous and entrancing story, it introduces the reader to the richly imagined world of Middle-earth, a world more fully and complexly realised in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
Jean Webster - Daddy-Long-Legs

With so much happening in her life, Judy can scarcely stop writing to the mysterious "Daddy-Long-Legs"!
Michael Ende - A Végtelen Történet
TEDD AZT, AMIT AKARSZ
ez a felirata annak a medalionnak, mely a korlátlan hatalmat jelképezi Fantáziában. De hogy ez a mondat voltaképpen mit is jelent, azt Barnabás csak hosszú, fáradtságos út után tudja meg.
Bux Barnabás Boldizsár számára, aki nem különösebben okos vagy szép, viszont gyönyörű történeteket tud mesélni, valóra válik minden gyermek álma: egy rejtélyes könyv olvasása közben hirtelen átkerül a mesébe, s ő lesz Fantázia birodalmának legfontosabb lakója, megmentője, akinek meséi nyomán új lények és tájak keletkeznek. Barnabás előtt nincs lehetetlen ebben a birodalomban, mert nála van a mindenható medál, az AURIN, s barátja lesz Fantázia legbátrabb vitéze, Atráskó és annak fehér szerencsesárkánya. Amikor azonban Barnabás túlságosan magabiztossá válik, s a medál feliratát, "Tedd azt, amit akarsz" túlságosan saját érdekei szerint kezdi el értelmezni, lassanként rémisztővé válik az addig oly kedves képzeletbeli világ. Barnabásnak sokat kell tanulnia, és sok kalandot kell átvészelnie, hogy megtudja, hogyan lesz a fantázia hőséből a mindennapok hőse, s hogyan válhat története valóban végtelenné.
Bux Barnabás Boldizsár történetét már eddig is világszerte több millió felnőtt és gyermek ismerhette meg, hiszen Michael Ende örökérvényű meseregényét 1979-es megjelenése óta több mint harmincöt nyelvre fordították le, és egy csodálatos filmet is forgattak belőle.

J. K. Rowling - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

His second year begins with a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Quidditch training and the intensification of old rivalries. Then the warning starts to ring true, as mysterious words are daubed on a wall, students are attacked and Ron's sister, Ginny, disappears. And so the search for Salazar Slytherin's heir begins, with the mystery pointing Harry to a clandestine chamber and a deadly creature at its heart...
Neil Gaiman - Csillagpor
_Neil Gaiman könyve is úgy kezdődik, ahogyan a legjobb történetek általában: egy fiúval, egy lánnyal meg egy beteljesületlen szerelemmel. De aztán egyáltalán nem úgy folytatódik, ahogyan a mesék folytatódni szoktak._
Falva falva egy aprócska település Angliában. Arról a falról kapta a nevét, amely a falu határában húzódik, és elválasztja az emberi világot a varázslatok birodalmától. Egy hűvös októberi estén a fiatal Tristran Thorn hullócsillagot lát a falon túl a földre zuhanni, és hogy elnyerje a gyönyörűséges Victoria kezét, megígéri a lánynak: elhozza neki a lehullott csillagot. Elindul élete nagy kalandjára a falon túli varázslatos világba, amelyet a legfurcsább teremtmények és soha nem látott lények népesítenek be. Hűséges társak, halálos ellenségek várják, és ha Tristran elég kitartó, olyasmit találhat meg, amire egyáltalán nem számított.
Christopher Healy - The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You've never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel, respectively, and yet, thanks to those lousy bards who wrote the tales, you likely know them only as Prince Charming. But all of this is about to change. Rejected by their princesses and cast out of their castles, Liam, Frederic, Duncan, and Gustav stumble upon an evil plot that could endanger each of their kingdoms. Now it's up to them to triumph over their various shortcomings, take on trolls, bandits, dragons, witches, and other assorted terrors, and become the heroes no one ever thought they could be.
Debut author Christopher Healy takes us on a journey with four imperfect princes and their four improbable princesses, all of whom are trying to become perfect heroes--a fast-paced, funny, and fresh introduction to a world where everything, even our classic fairy tales, is not at all what it seems.
Georgia Byng - Molly Moon's Hypnotic Time Travel Adventure

The only thing standing in his way is Molly and her brave pug, Petula. . . .
Mark Twain - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Long cherished by readers of all ages, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is both a hilarious account of an incorrigible truant and a powerful parable of innocence in conflict with the fallen adult world.
The mighty Mississippi River of the antebellum South gives the novel both its colorful backdrop and its narrative shape, as the runaways Huck and Jim—a young rebel against civilization allied with an escaped slave—drift down its length on a flimsy raft. Their journey, at times rollickingly funny but always deadly serious in its potential consequences, takes them ever deeper into the slave-holding South, and our appreciation of their shared humanity grows as we watch them travel physically farther from yet morally closer to the freedom they both passionately seek.
Neil Gaiman - Coraline
Coraline családjának új lakásában huszonegy ablak és tizennégy ajtó van. Tizenhárom ajtó nyílik és csukódik. A tizennegyedik zárva van, mögötte csak egy téglafal, amíg egy nap Coraline ki nem nyitja, és egy átjárót nem talál egy másik házba, amely a sajátjuk mása. Csak mégis más…
Eleinte a másik lakásban minden csodás. Jobb a kaja. A játékdobozban felhúzható angyal van, amely körbe-körbe repül a szobában, a könyvek képei mozognak, a dinoszaurusz-koponya csattogtatja a fogát. És van itt Coraline-nak másik anyja és másik apja is, akik azt akarják, hogy velük maradjon. Legyen az ő kislányuk. Meg akarják változtatni, és többé el nem engedni. Ebben a lakásban a tükör mögött még más gyerekek is csapdába estek. Coraline az egyetlen reményük. Be kell vetnie minden ravaszságát, hogy megmentse az elveszett gyerekeket, a szüleit és saját, normális életét.
Jacqueline Wilson - Little Darlings
The story of two girls who are worlds apart, but destined to be together . . .
Sunset lives a life of luxury with her beautiful ex-model mum, her world-famous ex-rocker dad and two little celeb siblings. But life on the red carpet is no compensation for rowing parents, constant nagging, intensive media scrutiny and no real friends.
Destiny, on the other hand, is an only child living on a rundown estate with a sickly but devoted mum who constantly tells her that she's really the daughter of a famous former rock star . . .
When the two girls meet in unlikely circumstances, they are surprised to find in each other something they've been missing all their lives . . .
Georgia Byng - Molly Moon stops the World
Georgia Byng's mind-bending heroine makes a California-bound comeback, this time heading to L.A. to stop a power-hungry businessman from hypnotizing his way into the presidency of the United States.
When Molly learns that Lucy Logan has a dangerous job for her -- stop multibillionaire (and ultra-strong hypnotist) Primo Cell in his tracks -- the orphan thinks this task might be more than she can handle. Thankfully, she has Rocky and other characters along for the trip, and Molly soon finds herself hobnobbing with Hollywood stars. But Molly learns that Primo has the power of permanent hypnotism that can only be broken by a secret password -- how can she reverse his effects? Molly discovers a startling surprise -- she has time-stopping powers of her own -- and after Primo's son saves them from near death, she finds out that her problems have only just begun.
Glittering with even more action and adventure than Byng's first book, Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism, this sequel will have readers starry-eyed for more. Plot-twisting turns of events keep coming throughout, and with all of Molly's personal revelations, fans will feel like their world has stopped, too, until the last page. Shana Taylor
J. R. R. Tolkien - Hobbitus Ille

Jack London - The Call of the Wild
In this quintessential adventure story, Jack London takes readers on an arduous journey through the forbidding Alaskan landscape during the gold rush of the 1890s. Buck, a rangy mixed breed used to a comfortable, sun-filled life as a family dog, is stolen by a greedy opportunist and sold to dog traffickers. In no time, Buck finds himself on a team of sled dogs run ragged in the harsh winter of the Klondike. In a climate where every day is a savage struggle for survival, the last traces of Buck's soft, pampered existence are erased as his dormant primordial urges — deeply embedded for generations — are brutally awakened.
The superb detail, taken from London's firsthand knowledge of Alaskan frontier life, makes this classic tale as gripping today as it was almost a hundred years ago. No other novel has so clearly shown the fragile separation between tame and wild, between man and beast. Now, paired with master illustrator Wendell Minor's exquisite paintings, this timeless story is available in a handsome new addition to the Scribner Illustrated Classics collection.
