Here two recommendations, one being a "childrens series", and one a eight book long series, freely available on the net.
1st: (from wikipedia) The Chronicles of Prydain is a five-volume series of children's fantasy novels by author Lloyd Alexander. The stories detail the adventures of a young man named Taran, who is awarded the honor of Assistant Pig-Keeper but dreams of being a grand hero, and his companions Princess Eilonwy, Fflewddur Fflam the wandering bard and king, a feral yet gentle creature called Gurgi, and a dwarf named Doli. Since a recurring facet of the series is the progression from youth to maturity, particularly prominent in Taran Wanderer,[1] the series could be considered a bildungsroman.
2nd: are the Tarrin Kael Chronicles from
www.sennadar.com
they are rather like the wheel of time series, about a young man growing beyond himself. If you like high fantasy, lots of magic, and a dark hero, you will certainly like these books.
