redwall is pure kino and one of the most realized fantasy worlds outside middle earth

Capitan Underpants is awesome

>>10947157
Care to extrapolate?

>>10947140
people who look past the obvious 'exists to sell new products' aspect of bionicles literature and can explain the world and it's lore are the highest tier of mankind

>>10947140
A challenger appears

>>10947161
It's a fantasy series with animals, and no magic. Give it a try.

Honestly the Bionicle books were great. I loved them. Added so much story I didn't know in the movies.
Would read them with Move Along on repeat 10/10

>>10947161
i appreciate how the series used animals instead of the typical elves/men/dwarves and how it showed how the different factions of mossflower interacted throughout the ages. Its been a long time ofc so idk how much of it is nostalgia

>>10947165
Feels good knowing I am the highest tier of mankind. Jesus fuck I can still recall all the lore 9 years later.

>>10947172
I think Legacy of Evil was my favorite of the main series. Outside of that, Dark Hunters was awesome.

cirque du freak series by darren shan.

>>10947140
Fucking hell guys, what was the name of that kids series of books about the three boys with a magic book that let them travel through time?

>>10947179
I binged them when I was in middle school, forgot the names of individual books. Just remember reading one a day and loving the rock/mining society

>>10947194
the book of mormon

>>10947194
a wrinkle in time?
the magic treehouse?

>>10947209
No, it was about three boys with common names like Joe and Peter I think and I remember their uncle was a magician and gave them the book and they had to say, "I wish I was there"
Please somebody tell me i didn't invent this in my head

what I read:
>Goosebumps
>Louis Sachar novels
>Choose Your Own Adventures
what I will force my kids to read:
>The Pilgrim's Progress
>The 48 Laws of Power
>a syllabus of approved fiction books which I am still working on

>>10947216
Time Warp Trio

>>10947219
thank you so much man

>>10947140
This series was my jam back in middle school. So much so that I actually collected the first 4 series. Unfortunately I grew out of reading for a bit but suddenly got the urge to read them all again after finding out there were 2 more series after I stopped

Warriors was the result of my first experience with LARPers. A pack of girls who were walking around with claws and talking about cat stuff. Freaked me out.

Quick update, started reading the first book now.

>>10947415
I guess Skyclan is now officially the 5th clan by the other 4 from the quick synopsis I read of Visions of Shadows. I thought Skyclan was pretty cool when I was younger.
>>10947464
Warriors is what got me into fanfiction. Not writing it, but I liked all the slice of life stuff there was. I always wondered what they did that wasn't written in the books.

>>10947363
>>10947415
>>10947498
Have you guys checked out Wings of Fire? It's by one of the authors of Warriors, and it's about dragons.

Still waiting for someone to post the dullest franchise

>>10947217
you ever watch Captain Fantastic?

>>10947532
animorphs was badass and had one of my favorite endings since it assumed that the readers had grown up since the series start and really tried to end it with a bang

>>10947140
What else exists that is similar to bionicle with the whole bionic-tribal-alien-fantasy-epic thing? What exists that is stylistically similar? I love the look of bionicles and the whole atmosphere of it. Did lego really come of with something this distinct and unique? Is there anything else like bionicle in any medium?

>>10947510
Interesting, I might have to check it out after I finish this.

>>10947165
>>10947179
The whole Metru Nui arc is actually a pretty gud introduction to Greek tragedy it seems, and following it comes Voya Nui and the promise of the coming resurrection which is utterly stifled if I recall and then the quite apocalyptic setting of the penultimate arc before the Divine's physical incarnation in the universe, or something like that. And the whole simplicity of the beginning Mata Nui arc could be seen as a primitive struggle for good and evil among early tribes and civilizations, with the big bad being the incarnation of original sin if I've ever seen it. Guess /lit/ autism and Bionicles should have never mixed but it truly has the deepest lore, considering how I can still remember this shit and relate it to some more "sophisticated" texts of world literature years after the fact

>>10947532
>>10947561
never forget the 17 thousand

also Wrinkle in Time is a great book for young kids. Really melted my little child brain

I like "The Giving tree" as a kid's book.

>>10947532
percy jackson

I thoroughly enjoyed the How to train your Dragon books as a kid, Dragons and Vikings are a fucking badass combination, although I haven't read them in years and I'm not sure how well they held up

>>10947161
is this a new meme?

>>10947217
>Choose Your Own Adventures
The Lone Wolf series has an app, you know

Moomins

>>10947161
I like this meme

>>10947762

>>10947567
Make a youtube series about the influences of western and SEA philosophy and mythology on bionicles and I can guarantee you'll get at least one view (me)

His Dark Materials
I know I'll probably get a load of shit and hat memes for saying this since Christian bigotry seems to be the new cool around here, but I still adore it and hold it as one of the few YA quality series

>>10947140

>Where the adventure begins
>Timetrap

Mfw Bionicle is smarter than Harry Potter

Series of Unfortunate Events is for patricians.

I liked the Horse and His Boy from Narnia. I always wanted to go on an adventure like that. It's the only Narnia book I didn't give to my little sister.

>non-swedes will never read Jan Lööf

>>10947140
bionicle was canceled 10 years ago

I started reading all the halo books pretty young. Space men doing space things is pretty great to read as a kid. I think that's what sparked my love for reading because I got so into the games and books.

the greeks

>>10947194
Ulysses Moore? But they had a magic door, not a magic book and it was two boys and a girl

>>10949298
>canceled
still hurts

>>10947140
time trap was the shit

>>10947216
its the magic tree house series, jack and annie were th characters i think

Help me /lit/, I'm trying to think of a book series involving a bunch of kids in a dystopian setting. It was a trilogy, the titles usually involved some synonym of fire or flame, one of the kids was named Hunter, the president was a pedophile and the plot was very "Children of Men"esque.

Time Warp Trio. Very amusing, but it took some liberties with the historical facts.

>>10947172
>Would read them with Move Along on repeat
underrated.

the bible, unironically,
