I strongly recommend the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R.R. Martin. A Feast for Crows is the 1st book of the series. They are fairly long, and have some adult themes, but they are great writing in the fantasy genre.

Besides the Charlie Bone series, Jenny Nimmo is also the author of The Magician Trilogy which is excellent.

And last but not least, I strongly recommend:
Cathy's Book: If Found Call (650)-266-8233 by Stewart/Weisman/Brigg. This book is so original and interactive. It is an ARG, puzzle, Choose-Your-Adventure, Nancy Drew mystery, online hunt, and diary all rolled into one.
The diary-style book (complete with doodles and drawings) is written by a teen girl as she attempts to solve the mystery behind her ex-boyfriend’s strange behavior and disappearance as well as a murder. As the story unfolds, readers will find hidden surprises—look out for references to functioning websites and phone numbers that enrich the story and help blur the line between reality and fiction.
By the way, not only does Cathy's Book has its own site, but the characters from Cathy's Book have their own phone numbers. There is also a Cathy's Book MySpace page, AIM Journal pages, and others. Be sure to visit the website url which is written on the inside spine of the book!
Inside the book there is also a clear evidence package which has all sorts of things including a napkin with writing on it, a birth certificate, letters, photos, date book sheets, and a lot more. These items are mentioned by Cathy in the course of the book.

I THIRD the motion for Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyer! They're the beginning of a really sweet romantic vampire series, and are just really great books. I'd also recomend the Young Wizards Series by Diane Duane (it starts with a book called So You Want to Be a Wizard). It sounds a little weird, but it's a really great series. Also, the book Faerie Wars and its sequels by Herbie Brennan are really cool fantasy books. Good luck finding some new books!

Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls. Skif is intelligent, good-hearted and creative enough to forage up three meals a day in a place where food is scarce and kindness almost unheard of. After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.
Dragonjousters book series(joust,alta,sanctuary,Aerie) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. That is only the beginning.The rest of the books are about how he gets a dragon of his own,his escape to Alta,how the war between the two kingdoms is stopped etc.
Belgariad book series by David Eddings.The first book is 'Pawn of Prophecy'.The story begins in aunt Pol's kitchen at Faldor's farm where Garion is being raised. The main theme of the books is about how it is to grow up and to break up with one's old life. From his safe life at the farm, Garion is being thrown into a new life controlled by a thousand of years old prophecy - the prophecy of his and the world's destiny...
Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Mars novels and the Tarzan novels.There are 11 novels in the Mars series beginning with 'A princess of mars'.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for 1000 years.
The best among the Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs is 'Son of Tarzen.' Jack,the son of Tarzan shared his father's love for apes.He was only trying to help an ape escape to Africa from his cruel trainer.However he got involved in a murder and couldn't return home.He chose to live in the jungle with the apes.Its a fascinating book.The social system among the intelligent giant apes,Korak's relationship with Miriam are all interesting stuff.Its a great coming of age book.
