Emma, I might also suggest: Song of the Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell, Lyrical retelling of the Arthurian legend of Elaine of Shalott. A review says, "This is a great book to give to your teens looking for novels in verse or fantasy with strong women." (Also just one of my personal favorites) Or A newer book, published in March or April The Boy Lost in the Maze by Joseph Coelho One description says, "In his new verse novel, Joseph Coelho brilliantly blends Greek myth with a 21st century quest. In Ancient Greece Theseus makes a dangerous and courageous journey to find his father, finally meeting the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. While Theo, a modern-day teenage boy, finds himself on a maze-like quest to find his own father. Each story tells of a boy becoming a man and discovering what true manhood really means" Hopefully you can come up with some good options! Hope this helps!

Hello Hive Mind!
I had a teen ask me today for fantasy novels in verse. I could only think of realistic fiction in verse so I was stumped! Does anyone know of any, have any recommendations for Fantasy Novels in Verse?
