An Old Title worth dusting off for your teens
"Although some of Ursula's works are a bit strange - the Earthsea Trilogy is a surprisingly wonderful gem. (Although readers should stop after book 3 - trilogies that turn into 6 are almost always a bad idea - just look at Star Wars).
A Wizard of Earthsea is the first book where we met SparrowHawk (AKA Ged). We watch him grow from a young boy who sees his village destroyed into a reckless schoolboy who gets caught up in the need to challenge his peers. As he grows and tests his limits he is ultimately called upon to save the world from the doom he brought down upon it."
