-Sabriel and Lireal by Garth Nix
Fantasy series about girls who send ghouls and monsters back into death. Creepy fun.
-Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday and Drowned Wednesday by Garth Nix
A 12 year old must save an alternative world. He gains powers when he's in the alternative world, which is structured like a big house. It's a bit Alice in Wonderland. Boys love it!
-Vampire High is a fun vampire novel
A human kid gets recruited to attend a posh high school and he realizes most of the other students are vampires. It's funny.
-Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer
Vikings ...trolls ...adventure
-Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan--Greek myth monsters
A bit Harry-Potteresque, but American and less magical.
-Foundling by DM Cornish
This is great creepy fun. The lead character finds out he's a monster slowly.
-Reef of Death by Paul Zindel
Kind of standard ocean monster book. Least favorite but a good no-brainer read.

William Sleator is a good fantasy/sci fi author for teens. If you get sick of R.L.Stein. House of Stairs-about orphans trapped in a house made entirely of stairs who only get food if they act violently oward each other, Interstellar Pig- about aliens who come to earth and play a card game with kid to decide which species will have the right to survive, and Among the Dolls- about a girl who gets trapped in a dollhouse and has to outwit the evil dolls living in it. They aren't strictly monster books, but they are very supernatural and engrossing.
Margaret Mahy's book "The Changeover" is about a girl choosing to become a witch in order to save her little brother from succumbing to a sort of vampirism. I would recommend that book above all others if monsters are what you're after.
Susan Cooper is another good author. Seaward is about a normal girl who discovers that she is a selkie (a seal-woman) and joins up with a boy on magical journey. There aren't any run of the mill frankenstein's, but there is a man who turns to stone when the sun sets, and a strange and ancient creature made up of colorful little sticks among other very original creatures. It is a story of journey, which responds to the young adults need for adventure.

You should check out R.L. Stine books, i.e. the Goosebumps series.
