Personally, I've developed a liking for D.J. MacHale's "Pendragon" books of
which nine have been written.  One more to go.

If you wand true literary stile, wrong books; these are written with a lot
of narrative in contemporary teen-friendly speak.  The books deal with
travel through these flume things to various territories which can be either
different places or times.  The main protagonist is a 14-year-old boy who
has to learn a lot very fast.  The antagonist is a truly evil, nasty guy who
uses the power of deception and can change his shape, etc. 

I never got into The Bartimaeus books.  They weren't true wizardry as I see
it, and the whole use of demons was uncomfortable.  And the Ender
books...didn't they start out with a guy who's drinking heavily or
something?

If you want a strange set of books to read, try "The Spellsinger."

Cheers,
