Great, I have to read the same stuff as my kid for the next two decades... At least I'll have motivation to keep reading.
I remember City of Ember being pretty good for a kids series. There's no "special powers" or anything, just some kids trying to escape what's basically a city sized bomb shelter that's semi-self-sustaining. I haven't read it in decades but I'm pretty sure it'll hold up as a book for your kids.
Some books I enjoyed when I was a kid that didn't fit the trips above:
I remember enjoying that book when I was younger, good stuff.
Writing this down for later
Try Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus Sequence.
The Amulet of Samarkand
The Golem's Eye
Ptolemy's Gate
The Ring of Solomon
Those books are so goddam good. I need to find copies and reread them.
Thanks, making notes!
such a good ya series
I'll also suggest the Pendragon series by DJ MacHale.
