Secrets of Droon, Goosebumps, Deltora Quest, Animorphs, Chronicles of Narnia, Fear Street, Nancy Drew/hardy Boys, Babysitters Club, and the Unicorn's Secret have all been enjoyed at our house.
If your looking for a Christian theme, try The left Behind books, Narnia books, the My Life As series ( these have titles like My life as a Human Hairball) Cul de Sac kids, Three Cousins Detective Club
I could probably think of several more that either my chidren read or that I read as a kid, but there's not enough space.

Warriors and Warriors: The New Prophecy by Erin Hunter are very good. Tey are exciting and make you want to turn the page. It's about four clans of cats and tells about the problems they face. I enjoy the same as you and would also like to read Artemis Fowl. One of my friends read and said it was good.

Try checking out the John Rebus series by Ian Rankin. There are many books in the series, yet they are not overwhelming at all to get into. Rankin has a sharp eye, and a quick wit, and his prose for a crime writer is second to none.

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy series that you might like. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you are a fan of Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.
