Taran Wanderer by Lloyd Alexander
5.0

This is a really great coming of age story. It's different from the rest of the series, and I was slightly disappointed at the lack of Eilonwy, but it's still an amazing story, fantastically written, and many of the new characters (my favorite is Llonio), as well as Taran's growth as a person, make up for it. There are some really great villains in this book, as well; while it doesn't have the same sort of heroic quest goal that the other books do, it does have the best antagonists of the series.
