I'm looking for material written by a french author to dig in to. So what I would prefer
is if it was books in a series, several books from one author (if I like the first one I have more to look forward to). I'm still at the beginner level but an adult so I some youthbooks could be interesting enough. I know there is translations of Harry Potter / Narnia but I would prefer if was written by a native to start with. So any ideas? Is there any books in french that most french children have read? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

In the same fantasy genre as Harry Potter you've got the Oksa Pollock series, or the Tara Duncan series,
both written by French female writers. I haven't read them but I've heard good reviews. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I moved your thread into this room because it was in the French-language only area, and I think you'll get more answers to your questions here. Feel free to use the French subforum to ask any question orpractice writing in French whenever you want to, though.
I'm interested in the responses - this is information I can use, too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I posted a list of various suggestions in juman's log, including both regular books and BDs. Not all of these are series, though.

There are the Free French audiobooks for young people which doesn't contain a series of youthbooks per se, but does have multiple works from the same author. It also contains links to the French texts. Note there are currently 18 pages of audiobooks for young people, so if the first page doesn't tickle your fancy, just click on the next page. I'm an adult and I see several that interest me. Edited by luke on 09 January 2013 at 4:44pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks for the link, luke. I now know where to go when the time comes for me to start working on my French! I've always wanted to read Jules Verne's books and the Arsène Lupin stories, so this is a gold mine for me.
By the way, how dated is the language in these late-1800s/early-1900s books? Edited by sans-serif on 09 January 2013 at 6:21pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

For exemple Erik l'homme writes fantasy for young readers.I've read his trilogie Le Livre
des Étoiles and I liked it, despite it being obviously meant for younger readers. The story is quite good, there is a lot of useful language. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

As an aside, I'm not familiar with the term youthbooks- I would use "YA books" or "YA
literature." YA stands for young adult. 1 person has voted this message useful |
