About The Eyes of the Dragon · Stephen King

  1. 1.The Silver Chair

    C.S. Lewis, 1953

    Also wonder and faith. Two children descend into an underground kingdom to rescue a prince, armed with four signs and very little courage.

  2. 2.Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

    J. K. Rowling, 2000

    Also wonder and dread. A tournament, three schools, and a year at Hogwarts where the rules stop protecting anyone.

    Oh, I would never dream of assuming I know all Hogwarts’ secrets, Igor. Only this morning, for instance, I took a wrong turn on the way to the bathroom and found myself in a beautifully proportioned room I had never seen before, containing a really rather magnificent collection of chamberpots. When I went back to investigate more closely, I discovered that the room had vanished. But I must keep an eye out for it. Possibly it is only accessible at five thirty in the morning. Or it may only appear at the quarter moon - or when the seeker has an exceptionally full bladder.

  3. 3.The House in the Cerulean Sea

    T.J. Klune, 2020

    Also wonder. A by-the-book inspector of magical orphanages visits a house whose children—and caretaker—begin to undo his neatly filed life.

    He was about to leave through the front door when he paused at a bright burst of laughter coming from the kitchen. Against his better judgment, he tiptoed toward the sound. He passed by posters nailed to the walls, the same messages that hung in all the DICOMY-sanctioned orphanages he’d been to. They showed smiling children below such legends as WE’RE HAPPIEST WHEN WE LISTEN TO THOSE IN CHARGE and A QUIET CHILD IS A HEALTHY CHILD and WHO NEEDS MAGIC WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR IMAGINATION?

  4. 4.A Game of Thrones

    George R.R. Martin, 1996

    Also dread and wonder. A winter that lasts years, a throne everyone wants, and a crowd of people whose choices all cost them something. Politics with knives and weather.

    You are your mother’s trueborn son of Lannister.""Am I?" the dwarf replied, sardonic. "Do tell my lord father. My mother died birthing me, and he’s never been sure.""I don’t even know who my mother was," Jon said."Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are." He favored Jon with a rueful grin. "Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs."And with that he turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune.When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king.

  5. 5.Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    Roald Dahl, 1964

    Also wonder and joy. A chocolate factory opens its gates to five children for a single day, and its owner has invented a hundred ways to make sugar strange.

    WILLY WONKA: Nothing wrong with it, my boy! Nothing! Nothing at all! It’s all chocolate! Every drop of that river is hot melted chocolate of the finest quality. The very finest quality. There’s enough chocolate in there to fill every bathtub in the entire country! And all the swimming pools as well! Isn’t it terrific? And just look at my pipes! They suck up the chocolate and carry it all away to all the other rooms in the factory where it is needed! Thousands of gallons an hour, my dear children! Thousands and thousands of gallons!

  6. 6.Where the Wild Things Are

    Maurice Sendak, 1963

    Also wonder and tenderness. A boy in a wolf suit sails off to be king of the monsters, and finds that wildness and homesickness arrive at exactly the same moment.

    That’s Douglas. I count on him for everything. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one thing, it’d be Douglas. We can share him if you want.
