Whether you're looking for another magical school, a young hero discovering their destiny, or a richly built fantasy realm, these ten books offer something special for fans of Hogwarts who are ready for their next adventure.
When it comes to books to read after Harry Potter, Amelia Moon & The Solstice Spectacular embraces that same sense of discovery, introducing a girl who begins to uncover the hidden cosmic mysteries of her small town’s annual solstice festival.

The books are full of humor, magical creatures, and an adventure that grows bigger with each installment.
For readers who loved Harry Potter’s sense of mystery and the feeling of being whisked away to another world, Keeper of the Lost Cities is an irresistible next read.
