If you loved following Shasta and Aravis as they embarked on a perilous escape to Narnia, you'll be hooked by Taran's quest to protect his homeland from dark forces. The Book of Three brims with adventure, urgency, and a sense of purpose as Taran, an Assistant Pig-Keeper, discovers courage and friendship while trying to thwart evil—a perfect match for your taste in epic, goal-driven tales.

If you enjoyed the interplay between Shasta, Aravis, Bree, and Hwin, you'll delight in the colorful cast that populates Howl's Moving Castle. Sophie, Howl, Calcifer, and Michael each bring unique personalities and quirks, creating a dynamic group whose adventures and relationships are as compelling as their magical journey.

If you were moved by Shasta's transformation from a timid boy to a confident hero, you'll be equally captivated by Morgon of Hed. His journey in The Riddle-Master of Hed is filled with personal discovery, shaping him into someone far greater than he imagined. The nuanced character development will deeply resonate with you.

If Narnia's rich and mysterious world drew you in, then the magical kingdom beneath the mountains in The Princess and the Goblin will do the same. The book's detailed worldbuilding—complete with secret passages, ancient magic, and enchanting creatures—offers a sense of discovery and wonder very much like what you loved in Lewis's story.

If Shasta's journey from humble beginnings to bravery inspired you, Bilbo Baggins's transformation in The Hobbit will too. The story follows Bilbo as he leaves his quiet home, faces daunting challenges, and discovers hidden strengths—a classic tale of coming-of-age in a world full of peril and magic.
