The+Pellinor+Series

This is the first book to a series I really enjoyed although the writing is a bit complicated so you might have trouble understanding it if you are a sixth grader. The series is by Allison Croggon and it follows a slave named Maerad (pronounced Myrad) who meets a man named Cadvan in the barn where she is working one day. Cadvan is a Bard and is surprised that she can see him because he put a spell over himself to shield himself from any normal person's view. He then realizes that she is a Bard too and helps her escape from her life of slavery. But it soon becomes clear that she is not a normal Bard and perhaps their only chance of defeating a powerful and evil former Bard called The Nameless One. This book is definitely not low on adventure and is mixed with a medieval feel to it that keeps you captivated. There are three books in this series if you like the first one. Enjoy! -Mara, 8th grade
