I’m not sure if your nieces aren’t allowed books with magic because they’re Christian/religious? If so, there are some fabulous Christian YA books that they may enjoy that fit this category. A couple of my favorites include The Chiveis Trilogy by Bryan M Litfin, and the Time to Die Trilogy by Nadine Brandes.

Hope this helps. Apologies if my assumption is incorrect! ?

@Lucinda you are correct! I never realized how many YA books had so much magic in it until they pointed it out! You were very helpful.

It’s not magical or witchy, but it is set in a completely different universe:

“Carve the Mark” and “The Fates Divide” by Veronica Roth. It’s a dystopian tale of two fated families.
