Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Charlie Bone (by Jenny Nimmo)

the Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme (by Elizabeth Haydon)

Fablehaven (Brandon Mull)

The Warrior Heir and The Wizard Heir (Cinda Chima)

Artemis Fowl (Eoin Colfer)

Septimus Heap (Angie Sage)Www@QuestionHome@Com

For a lot of action, I would recommend the Dirk Pitt and NUMA Files books of Clive Cussler!. There are 30+ books in these series and they include action, adventure, world travel and are fun to read!.

You can also try Ian Fleming's James Bond books, which are full of action!.

For something fun to read, try Terry Pratchett's Discworld books - there are at least 30 books in this series as well, and the various books follow several different story arcs that sometimes cross over!. There are a lot of great characters and Pratchett pokes fun at just about everyone and anything with his social satire and comedy!.

For straight-out action though, nobody I have read even comes close to Matthew Reilly!. His books are packed with action from the very first page to the end!. Start with Ice Station or Seven Deadly Wonders, which are the first books in their respective series!. You will get action, adventure and plenty of intrigue and they include some of the best (or luckiest) heroes getting out of seemingly impossible situations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the Monster Blood Tattoo series, ITs about an orphan who is enrolled in the emperial service of lamplighting and on his journey to start his training he meets all sorts odf people and fights of monsters(The book is in a completely different world)!.

Hmm!.!.!. there's Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - great romance and action!.
I loved the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer!
I'm not sure if there's a second book to the Supernaturalists by Eoin Colfer but don't read it if you don't like really dramatic, sad parts in an ending!. I cried!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well they aren't a series, but Jody Picoult has a bunch of books that are just like what you described they are all about 500 pages long and there are maybe 20 of them!. My favorites are Vanishing Acts and The Tenth Circle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
