Born today July 19th 1963 Garth Nix is an Australian writer who specializes in children’s and young adult fantasy novels. A full-time writer since 2001, more than five million copies of his books have been sold around the world and his work has been translated into 40 languages. Garth’s books have appeared on the bestseller lists of The New York Times, Publishers Weekly (US), The Bookseller(UK), The Australian and The Sunday Times (UK).
I personally fell in love with the Abhorsen trilogy, I found them refreshingly, original, and engrossing
(Click any picture for links to the books amazon page.)
These two books were continuations off the original Abhorsen Trilogy. Although Clariel is listed as being book 4… Neither is as good as the original 3 but they are still good fixes for anyone who is a Abhorsen fan.
A 5th book will be released on October 4th 2014

I love Garth Nix! He wrote The Keys to the Kingdom books & I absolutely fell in love with them as a young teen!

Thank you for this new author. Even an old goat like me enjoys a good book written for young people. Have you ever read any of the Sister Fedelma mystery series written by Peter Treymane? They are set in ancient Ireland and they are a good read and are historically accurate. Charles
