Children's Books: My Favorites

After my rant about how awesome children's books are (see the post "On the Virtues of Children's Books"), I thought I might give a list of my favorite series/books. I'll try to keep them in the order of most favorite to least favorite, but it does tend to change a lot. These are either books I've loved since childhood or that I've discovered more recently and really enjoyed.

1. Septimus Heap by Angie Sage
2. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
3. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
4. Alcatraz Smedry by Brandon Sanderson
5. The Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones
6. The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas
7. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling 
8. Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
9. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede
10. Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

I could go on, but these are all great books if you like children's fantasy. I've obsessively reread most of these, and I will probably go on obsessively reading them as I get older.
