I would suggest the Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. The first book
in the series, The Amulet of Samarkand, is on the Texas Lone Star List for
2005-2006. Eleven year-old, Nathaniel, is a magician's apprentice that
summons a 5000 year old djinni to avenge his honor by stealing a treasure
from the nemesis who humiliated him. You can think of him as Harry Potter
with an attitude.
The second book, The Golem's Eye, is also now available.

Subject: good fantasy for 6th grade girl
Hi,
I have a parent who would like some good fantasy/wizards/magic, etc. for her
6th grade daughter, who was one of my students last year and has read
everything that I have that I can think of as appropriate.
She is not ready for mature situations and language.
She loved Harry Potter and Eragon.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
Sharon
