I describe a couple dozen recommended fantasies about girls in my guide
GREAT BOOKS FOR GIRLS (Ballantine, 2002 revised edition). Some of my
favorites are Robin McKinley's books, esp. The Blue Sword; Patricia Wrede's
Dealing with Dragons & its sequels; anything by Tamora Pierce; Sabriel by
Garth Nix & sequels. Most recently, Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men and
(just out) Shannon Hale's The Goose Girl -- both are terrific.
