[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my 2 cents on good fantasy for 10yo that [b]doesn't have the sex stuff
[/b]
Abhorsen series (Garth Nix) - excellent female protagonist 
Fluff Dragon series (Platte Clark) - comic fantasy 
The Book of Lost Things (John Connolly)
The Mapmakers Trilogy (SE Grove) - female protagonist - relationship stuff, no romance
The Shannara series (Terry Brooks)
Beautiful Creatures - dark fantasy/romance - no sex - at least not in the first one
Graceling
[b]Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley [/b](King Arthur Legend so ymmv regarding appropriateness)
Terry Pratchett - Discworld - Witches series 
Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman - dark

[/quote]

Hahaha!  Mists of Avalon is FULL of "the sex stuff"!  Did you even read it?  (though I wouldn't forbid my kid from reading it, or anything else)[/quote]

I read it years ago - and as I said - it's King Arthur's legend which is, by definition, full of sex - Guinevere sleeps with Lancelot - etc. etc. [/quote]
