I’ve been fascinated by fantasy as a young adult reading Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Never Ending Story. I find fantasy interesting because it explores the imagination and lets us escape. I also enjoy fantasy movies such as Avatar. It's full of adventure and the film is full of special effects. I studied science when I left school but my heart was into writing.
I pick this book as my favorite because it’s a young adult book about looking inside ourselves for inner strength. It explores ourselves as a person and it teaches values like believing in ourselves. It helped me overcome my fears about my self-worth and to believe what is important.
I think it's important to have values included in young adult books.
Read the book that inspired the classic coming-of-age film! From award-winning German author Michael Ende, The Neverending Story is a classic tale of one boy and the book that magically comes to life.
When Bastian happens upon an old book called The Neverending Story, he's swept into the magical world of Fantastica--so much that he finds he has actually become a character in the story! And when he realizes that this mysteriously enchanted world is in great danger, he also discovers that he is the one chosen to save it. Can Bastian overcome the barrier between reality and his imagination…
I personally recommend this story because it is a fun read that teaches the reader personal values and inner strength that leaves the reader feeling positive about themselves.
This is my favorite young adult book and it inspired me to write my book because I find the characters in the story quirky and they have flaws. The protagonist is able to defy all odds and win in the end. I found the story pretty inspirational that leaves me feeling positive.

The other children in this book are nasty little beasts, called: Augustus Gloop - a great big greedy nincompoop; Veruca Salt - a spoiled brat; Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive little gum-chewer; Mike Teavee - a boy who only watches television. Clutching their…
This book teaches the reader about defying all odds and achievements and doing what is right. It explores the imagination by taking the reader into a different world with hobbits, elves, and dwarfs. It provides escapism and teaches about values included in day-to-day living which connects with the reader, for example the destruction of greed and the destruction of the environment and the power of friendship.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
The Secret Garden is one of my favorite books. It's my favorite classic that explores the imagination and takes you on an adventure of self-discovery to a personal place where you can be free to be yourself. It connects to the reader because we all want a place in which we can be free.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a magical novel for adults and children alike

I love Mary Poppin because it’s the best feel-good story for children. I find the characters sweet and Mary Poppins is so energetic and with strong values. I found it inspiring to help me write my own book. I think it has inspired a few classics.
