You may have read some of Madeleine L engles' children's books. She also writes for young adults.

Terry Brooks, The Sword of Shannara Trilogy, loved this series. In some ways these books are better than The Lord of the Rings.

You might also try books by Fannie Flagg. My favorite was Standing in a Rainbow
