[quote=Anonymous]A lot of "classic sci fi" like Heinlein is pretty dated and unpleasant to read, especially for a 12 year old. You want to find something either funny or recently written (or both). Alan Dean Foster's Glory Lane is funny. Elizabeth Moon's Serrano series is good. The Expanse is good but a little creepy. The Martian is good. Hitchhiker's Guide is dated but still great. Packing for Mars by Mary Roach is not fiction but it's fun. For fantasy: Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. As someone else mentioned, Brandon Sanderson finished the series after Jordan died. Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea series. Guy Gavriel Kays's Finovar series. Robin McKinley's books; Outlaws of Sherwood is a good intro, or Sunshine. T. Kingfisher's books; Clockwork Boys is a good intro. Terry Pratchett's books (all). Garth Nix's Abhorsen series. Naomi Novik's Termeraire series or the standalone book Uprooted. Jane Lindskold's Firekeeper books. [/quote]
