Based on the above list, you all might also enjoy His Dark Materials https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Dark_Materials, Redwall https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall, and The Dragonriders of Perth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonriders_of_Pern

When reading progression is ready for more depth, The Dark Is Rising https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Is_Rising_Sequence or Earthsea https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthsea are both excellent too.

All are series with approachable first books that can be enjoyed on their own (if they don't hit).

His Dark Materials was already in my post, but at least it's a testament to the precision of your list, so I'll look into the other ones, thank you!

That's what I get for posting pre-coffee. Point!
