Suggestions for fantasy, Sci fi or apocalypse books with young boy becoming great...
I'm needing suggestions on books similar to "The Bakers Boy" by J.V. Jones, "Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card, "Mageborn: The Blacksmith's Son" by Michael G. Manning, "The Shattergrave Knights" by David M. Haendler, Etc...
I really like stories that are action/adventure and revolve around a young boy who comes from nothing (an outcast, orphaned, etc... ) and grows up to be great in some way. Maybe he was orphaned and later finds out he is royalty and has to fight to stay alive because the ones in power don't want it known. It could also be about survival after the apocalypse and he eventually grows up to reunite civilization. Really, anything involving someone young that goes through a series of trials, is almost beaten and overcomes them in the end.
