[personal profile] larryhammer is asking: "Can anyone recommend books like Tamora Pierce’s Alanna and Protector of the Small series for younger readers? Stories about training for knighthood or in vicinity of that."

I haven't read any offhand, but I did some trawling through Amazon for some suggestions, and noticed that Ursula Vernon has such a wide appeal that the also-boughts for her Hamster Princess books are hilarious. I don't think Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny is being read by the publisher's intended audience for HP.

I feel like a I have a rec in answer to that request just</i. on the tip of my brain but I can't quite reach it. I'll pass it on if I can bring it to mind though!

Stupid markup error. I thought of the thing and will go offer it at the OP.
