Subject: [aisle] Book Recommendations needed "Fantasy but no magic"

Hello all!

I've got a 6th grader coming in daily who is a voracious reader, but extremely selective. She adores and has read everything by Jennifer Nielsen, particularly The False Prince series. She wants more of that, as she puts it "fantasy but no magic." Any ideas for middle school books that have kings, queens, and quests, but leave the magic behind?

Any ideas appreciated!

Thanks!

-Monica
