Ok I LOVE the Shadow Children Series, and also the Series of Unfortunate Events Series... but if you like Greek Mythology, (like I do) then you should try The Lightning Theif and The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan.
Try them!

The Tomorrow When The War Began series by John Marsden, they are awesome, you need to take some time to sit and start the first one with no distractions to get into it nd when you do its fantastic

There's a new medieval fantasy series in hardcover 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're a fan of Conan, LOTR or Wheel books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer has dubbed it, "BRAVEHEART meets LORD OF THE RINGS." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Publishers Weekly said in a rare 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."
Library Journal said:
"This series opener...is a good choice for fans of epic-style sagas and Scottish history."

"This terrific medieval fantasy...will elate readers for its fast-paced, action-thrilled story line starring a strong cast."
Nancy McCulloch, PRWEB Article:

You should read The Shadow Children's Series by Margaret Peterson Haddix after I read that series she has been my favorite author yet because it is heartbreaking, romantic, joyful, complicated, and almost anything you can think of.
