Used books on Amazon can be found -- sometimes for only a dollar (plus postage). I'm always looking for fantasy book that are more diverse. Here are some suggestions of fantasy books for your learner https://www.readbrightly.com/diverse-ya-fantasy-books/ Here is a list of current popular fantasy books: Keeper of Lost Cities Shadow & Bone City of Bones Red Queen Harry Potter series The Graveyard Book The Witches The Hobbit A Wrinkle in Time A Wizard of Earthsea series The Dark Is Rising series The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe The Little Prince Pippi Longstocking Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Tuck Everlasting Half Magic Uglies We were liars Howl’s Moving Castle (movie) The Mysterious Benedict Society Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH The House with a Clock in Its walls Hounds of the Baskervilles The King of Elfland's Daughter
Many fantasies also have romance arcs--we will discuss the structure of romance arcs, and the relationship/feelings between the characters, but not go into any gory details like kissing, etc. I will occasionally post links to recommended books as well as links to https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ where parents can assess these book for their learners.
