The Secret of Dragonhome by John Peel:
Melayne is a teenage girl living in a fantasy kingdom embroiled in a war with another. She and her younger brother are "Talents," which means they have special powers. It also means they are hunted down mercilessly. After her parents are killed at the hands of soldiers, Melayne and her brother flee for their lives to the neighboring enemy kingdom, where they pose as citizens. Melayne and her brother go to the castle of the young, widowed Lord Sander, where Melayne is given a job to care for Sander's little boy. But there's a secret at the castle of Dragonhome that puts them all at danger. This book has everything: action, fantasy, suspense, plot twists, and even a romance (between Melayne and Sander).
I also recommend The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story in book form.
