I am re-reading
The Spook's Curse by Joseph Delaney. A brilliant book, part of the Wardstone Chronicles/Last Apprentice/Spook's Apprentice series. It's known as
The Last Apprentice: Curse of the Bane in the USA, and it's set in the country and county in which I live in!
I also recommend that you read:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy: A classic, it's in a trilogy of five

.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Known as the
Sorcerer's Stone in USA, a brilliant piece of writing for anyone of any age.
Dogfight: Also brilliant, set in World War 2 Norway.
