Hard to think of anything that's not a kid's series, but there's also The Spiderwick Chronicles and A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Femmy, would you consider "half" siblings? Seems like there should be lots of choices with that...The Curse of the Mistwraith comes to mind.
The Stormlord books by Glenda Larke have siblings as well as other more complicated family relationships as main characters. They are a great read too.
There's also The Door to Time by Pierdomenico Baccalario - whole Ulysses Moore series are about siblings. The book's for teenagers as characters there are 13-14 year olds, but my dad had read these series as well and he really liked them.
Femmy, I just stumbled upon an entire Goodreads group dedicated to books about brothers. Not plugging the group, but they list some interesting books to read. (Mods, if this is inappropriate, please delete.)https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The Amber books by Roger Zelazny the first arc five books in all are about siblings 9 brothers and 5 sisters trying to get control of the throne of Amber.Amber Series
Monica, what a great find! Thank you.Kevin and Brenda, I've heard a lot about this series, but didn't realize that they're about siblings. Thanks!
Shadowmarch by Tad WilliamsLord of the Rings by Tolkien
Shannara series by Terry Brooks
Dragonlance (first trilogy & Twins trilogy) by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weiss
Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone by Greg Keyes
Thanks for the list, Jingizu.I'm torn about the Dragonlance novels. I want to read the Twins trilogy because I'm a twin myself. But I didn't like the first trilogy. Too RPG-ish for my taste. Is the Twins trilogy has an RPG feel, too?
Nine Princes in Amber fantasy with brothers and sisters showing varying degrees of love and hate for one another.
Snow White and Rose Red by Patricia C. WredeMiserere: An Autumn Tale by Teresa Frohock and A Net of Dawn and Bones by C. Chancy features siblings in conflict
The Emperor's Blades has 3 siblings as the main characters and the story line is epic, also check out The Darker Shade Of Magic trilogy by Victoria Shwab, trust me you'll love it :)
Thanks, Kristina. I've read The Emperor's Blades recently and I quite like it. I'll make sure to check out Schwab's trilogy.
Dune series. When Pauls children become the main characters. I would guess book 2 or 3, don't remember. I guess technically it is SF though. But a classic anyway.
