Pendragon ive heard is a great series.
Both my nephew (15) and my neighbors daughter (14) enjoyed and loved them.
From what I gather, its about a boy who like travels between time and worlds, and is trying to save the universe against the bad guy. I think that it is fairly gender neutral, if slightly geared towards boys.
If you are more in to unicorns and such, I would suggest Acorna (it's a lengthy series too). It's aimed a little towards adults, but it's something that a mature teenager could manage.
Lastly, The Sword Of Shannara (Terry Brooks) is like a modified lord of the rings. Still aimed at people probably 15+, and appeals more to males, it's still a really good series.
Oh, and Eragon. I have no idea what this is about, and i have the impression it is more juvenille, but it has something to do with dragons and such.

Anything by Tamora Pierce is wonderful but her Tortall books are the best. I would start with the first book in the Song of the Lioness quartet. I'm pretty sure its called Alanna: The First Adventure
Harry Potter is always good
Seven Tears into the Sea by Terri Farley
Eragon and Eldest
Hmm, thats all I can think of at the moment. Sorry.

Eragon is amazing. You could also try books by Tamora Pierce. Personally I prefer her Tortall books over her Circle of Magic ones. Robin McKinely has various books that aren't series but are still good. Try Spindle's End by her. it's almost like sleeping beauty, but different. Form your description of what you like to read, you'll love it. It has everything you asked for.
For a funnier book you could try the Frog Princess, I don't remember who wrote it, but it was pretty good. It also has everything you asked for.

seek for Sharon Shinn's books--her Angel sequence is unique and relaxing, with a blend of adventure and romance. Her 12 homes sequence is likewise good--set in a extra classic delusion international, a great number of adventure, magic, conflict, tremendous characters, and an element of romance. also try: Robin McKinley's books. She is truly one of my absolute fashionable delusion authors. i began reading her books even as i change right into a youngster, and nevertheless bypass decrease back and reread them (i'm 35 now) "The Blue Sword" is my fashionable; she's also finished some retellings of multiple fairy memories. Her heroines are continuously solid, inventive, and frequently somewhat tomboyish. "Sunshine" is a vampire tale, and is fairly human being. "Deerskin" is likewise more effective for mature readers. guy Gavriel Kay--His books frequently have distinct leads, jointly with women human beings, yet adult adult males are frequently the major gamers. yet they're in accordance to eu history, and he's an rather good author. a number of them have some sex (rather "Tigana"). reckoning on how youthful you recommend with assistance from "youthful human being," it could be more effective to attend on those. His maximum recent one (Ysabel) should be good--the major characters are adolescents. And "The Lions of al-Rassan" is tremendous and has an rather solid woman lead. satisfied reading!

Try Terry Pratchett. His Disc World books have a nice humour to them. There is also Piers Anthony. His books are very punny.
